AB This undergraduate dissertation examines how Cloud Nine, a play written in 1978 by theBritish playwright Caryl Churchill, intends to make its audiences realise how Victorianmorality is still manifested in their reality, so they can get rid of its constraints. Suchrealisation is the first step to overcome its influence and it is achieved through theemployment of certain theatrical techniques borrowed from the German playwright BertoltBrecht, which alienate the audience from the actions on stage. The play develops in twodifferent historical contexts, the Victorian period and the nineteen-seventies. Both contextsare analysed, first, to understand the origins of Victorian morality and how it is reflected inthe first act of the play, and second, to appreciate how such morality is torn apart in thesecond act thanks to different contextual influences.
