Jane Spencer
THE NINTH CLOUD is a dark, existential comedy about a young woman trying to find answers to the meaning of existence ... who runs into a whole pack of strange characters in London, from bohemian struggling artistes, to monied British aristocrats, with all their varying agendas as she tries to help an impoverished immigrant child with a leg problem.
A struggling writer steals poems written by his mute friend to achieve fame and fortune.
There is a strange event in the sky. Only a young woman, and some of her more alienated friends...notice. But they are voiceless, as it just gets stranger - even as below - on the ground, it gets more, what is ominously called, 'normal'.
