A rehearsed reading of Way Upstream by Alan Ayckbourn Directed by Victor Craven Wednesday 28th August, 2019 At the Tower Theatre, Stoke Newington

Part of the Tower Theatre Company's celebration of Alan Ayckbourn's 80th year, a packed house enjoyed a semi-staged reading of this darkly comic play.

Audience reaction was universally enthusiastic :

• Such imaginative staging. - A.F.
• It was fantastic. Totally absorbing and very funny. - D.I.
• Fantastic show. Brilliant performances all round. - J.S.
• I absolutely loved it ... forgot they were reading. Really, really good. - S.V.
• We enjoyed it so much. Incredible what was accomplished in four days. - T.T.
• Not so much a rehearsed reading as a semi-staged performance. After a while I didn't even notice the books were there as the story swept us along. Very well cast. - J.C.
• It was excellent. Great direction and a great cast. Very, very well done all! - J.T.
