Question: Did both Joe Orton and Damon Runyon work toward advancement of literacy?
Context: What the Butler Saw is a farce written by the English playwright Joe Orton.  It was premièred at the Queen's Theatre in London on 5 March 1969.  It was Orton's final play and the second to be performed after his death, following "Funeral Games" in 1968. Prick Up Your Ears is a play by Simon Bent, based on the life of playwright Joe Orton.  Produced by Sonia Friedman it opened at the Comedy Theatre in London's West End on 30 September 2009 following previews from 17 September.  It starred Chris New as Joe Orton and Matt Lucas as Orton's lover and murderer, Kenneth Halliwell. "Chronic Offender" is a science fiction short story by Spider Robinson.  It was written as an homage to Damon Runyon, to whom it is dedicated.  The style echoes Runyon's, especially in its use of present and future tenses only throughout.  It was first published in 1981 in "Rod Serling's The Twilight Zone Magazine". The Damon Runyon Cancer Research Foundation (Damon Runyon) is an American not-for-profit cancer research organization focused on "discovering the talent to discover the cure".  The organization states that its goals are to: "identify the best and brightest early career scientists in cancer research, accelerate the translation of scientific discoveries into new diagnostic tools and treatments, and to enable risk-taking on bold new ideas". Damon Runyon Theater is an American television program that presented dramatized versions of Damon Runyon's short stories.  Hosted by Donald Woods, the program, sponsored by Anheuser-Busch's Budweiser beer, aired for a total of 39 episodes on CBS from April 1955 through February 1956 (repeats continued through June). The Big Street is a 1942 American drama film, starring Henry Fonda and Lucille Ball, based on the short story "Little Pinks" by Damon Runyon, who also produced the movie.  The film was directed by Irving Reis.  The screenplay was written by Leonard Spigelgass from Runyon's story. Alfred Damon Runyon (October 4, 1880 – December 10, 1946) was an American newspaperman and short story writer. Multiteam systems (MTSs) are "[t]wo or more teams that interface directly and interdependently in response to environmental contingencies toward the accomplishment of collective goals. MTS boundaries are defined by virtue of the fact that all teams within the system, while pursuing different proximal goals, share at least one common distal goal; and in doing so, exhibit input, process and outcome interdependence with at least one other team in the system" (Mathieu, Marks, & Zaccaro, 2001, pp. 290).  Multiteam systems describe collections of teams that work toward a common goal.  MTSs are often conceptualized as larger than a single team, but smaller than the organization within which they are embedded (Mathieu, et al., 2001).  In fact, MTSs often traverse organizations such that teams embedded within the same MTS may hail from multiple organizations.  These systems of teams can be conceptualized as a special type of social network (Wasserman & Faust, 1994).  In particular, MTSs are social networks whose boundaries are based on the shared interdependence of all members toward the accomplishment of a higher-order network-level goal.  Multiteam systems are different from teams, because they are composed of multiple teams (called component teams) that must coordinate and collaborate.  In MTSs, component teams each pursue proximal team goals (not shared with other teams in the system) and at the same time, work toward the larger system level goal.  Because of this dual focus on team goals and systems goals, there are many situations where interventions aimed at improving the internal cohesion of teams will come at a cost to the larger goal.  The past decade has witnessed an explosion of interest in the social sciences in understanding multiteam systems.  MTSs are thought to explain the dynamics that arise in the public sector such as Provincial Reconstruction Teams, and in the private sector with strategic alliances. John Kingsley "Joe" Orton (1 January 1933 – 9 August 1967) was an English playwright and author.  His public career was short but prolific, lasting from 1964 until his death three years later.  During this brief period he shocked, outraged, and amused audiences with his scandalous black comedies.  The adjective "Ortonesque" is sometimes used to refer to work characterised by a similarly dark yet farcical cynicism. "The Idyll of Miss Sarah Brown" is a short story by Damon Runyon telling of the improbable – but eventually triumphant – love between an inveterate gambler (Sky Masterson) and a missionary girl (the Miss Sarah Brown of the title).  It was the basis for the musical "Guys and Dolls" – with a similar plot line, but with many additional twists and turns added before the lovers are finally reunited and live happily ever after.  It was first published in 1933.  In 1949, it was dramatized on radio as part of a program called "Damon Runyon Theatre".
