Peggy for You

Showing a day in the life of Peggy Ramsay, the most celebrated play agent of her time, this is a gloriously witty, wry and unsentimental account of an extraordinary woman as she takes on principalities, powers, producers and, above all, playwrights. Eccentric, intimidating, contradictory and inspiring, she ruled an anarchic roost, including dramatists as famous and diverse as Joe Orton, Christopher Hampton, Stephen Poliakoff, Alan Ayckbourn, Edward Bond and, for thirty years, Plater himself.
