Notes
○ Way Upstream toured with the world premiere company for a month-long residency at the Alley Theatre, Houston. It was presented without problems with the boat built locally.
○ Way Upstream was performed in rep with a revival of Alan Ayckbourn's Absent Friends, a production specifically produced for the tour and not performed in Scarborough.
