...Upstream (1981) Two unhappily married couples take a boat trip, which turns into a nightmare after a sinister hitchhiker takes command. A rare Ayckbourn play that got panned by the critics, and I have never seen it onstage (not surprising, since it requires the stage to be filled with water). But it's a thrilling read, and a rare Ayckbourn attempt at political allegory...
...funding from the Office for the Arts, the show was able to bring in people such as producer, director, and screenwriter Larry Cohen to help develop the show.

Dean William Fitzimmons explained that Harvard admits only about 300 people for purely academic reasons, the rare geniuses who rediscovered plutonium and finished Math 55 in high school. (One lived on my floor freshman year. At least, he was rumored to, but he never emerged during the daytime.) In addition to this are some people who excel early in specific fields. The rest of the class is made up of well-rounded, normal people...
