This past weekend, Cambridge was brutally attacked by a play and a movie both detailing troubling boat trips half way around the world. The play, "Female Transport" by Steve Gooch, was directed by Jason Southerland, the Institute for Advanced Training's first year directing student, and showed some artistic potential, but was doomed to failure by its subject matter.

...JEANS: "FERRY BOAT" This TV ad has a terrifically imaginative boy-chases-girl premise. In it, a bearded twentysomething frantically pulls up to a boat as it is about to depart. His license plate reads OHIO. He's looking for the beauty in Lees, and when he finds her, he hands her a necklace. "Excuse me," he says. "You dropped this back there." She smiles and asks, "Where?" His response: "In Nebraska...
