Description: Peggy Ramsay, a London theatrical agent, was one of the most influential figures to shape the English-speaking stage in the late twentieth century. She championed the work of Samuel Beckett, Eugene Ionescso, David Hare, Joe Orton and others and her exploits are legendary. From her campaign to stage Waiting for Godot to her tryst with Ionesco on the office divan, Peggy cut a wide path, both artistically and socially. The story of her life, simply, is the story of the British theater in the twentieth century. With full access to all of Peggy's papers and hours of interviews with her illustrious clients, Colin Chambers creates a portrait of Peggy Ramsay that makes for an intelligent, albeit rambunctious and thrilling, read that will titillate anyone in love with theater.
