...The predominant themes in Cloud Nine are homosexuality, gender stereotyping, sexual politics, and the subjugation of difference. The play was first performed on Valentine's Day 1979, and the cast included such notable actors as Anthony Sher, Julie Covington, and Miriam Margolyes (Juliet's nurse in the R&J film). Like many of Churchill's other works, the play was developed through improvisation and workshop-based activities involving the Joint Stock Theatre Group. This has resulted in a text which is sometimes odd to read, but which comes alive in performance. The first act is set in colonial Africa during Victoria's reign and explores the (often sexual) interaction between a group of mostly-white Ex-pats. A major theme of this first half of the play is the hypocrisy arising from the conflicting imperatives of Victorian... Read review

Advantages: an easy intro to the other side
Disadvantages: erm, only that it's fictional!

...This is a fictional work based on the life and work of john Edward, a psychic from USA. He has been doing his work now, travelling over America and beyond, for many years but is becoming ever popular since his show aired on Living TV. For the die-hard fans of John Edward, this is a comforting fiction. Those poor souls who've only just discovered John will also find it an enticing read. I myself have read all but his new book and find "What If God Were The Sun" to be a relaxing and effortless read which flows from the start to an all too soon a finish. It's a brilliant intro into the fascinating world of John's work without being bogged down by tales of seminars and readings for those of you who find this tedious. I'd recommend this to people who know of John Edward's work and those who merely have an interest in what goes... Read review
