Wav Upstream
I'm absolutely terrified. I think the first plow one ever writes ... it's Just a relief to have finished the darn thing, and by the time you get to the fifth you're beqinning to set a few standards for yourself ... this is the 26th.
(ALAN AYCKBOURN in August before he started work on Way Upstream. which opened on 2 October)
Rona'd Hayman examines the amazingly swift birth of a new Ayckbourn comedy with the permanent company of actors and the writer-director himself, who seems to thrive on self-imposed problems. These include a flooded stage and a moving cruiser for the two couples who go upstream to discover the cracks in their relationships and, unusually, evil.
The ptav goes beyond naturalism, and Alan Ayckbourn admitted apprehensively: ' It is for me quite a departure ... whatever else I'm being accused of. I don't think I'm trotting out the same old play again.'
Producer ANNE WINDER
