OverviewPeggy Ramsay (1908-1991) was the foremost play agent of her time. Her list of clients shows her to have been at the centre of British playwriting for several generations from the late 1950s on. To her remarkable array of clients, her letter writing was notorious, marked by searing candour, both a wondrous motivation and an unforgiving scrutiny to be feared. ‘Peggy judged by the most exalted standards and lashed her writers when they failed to meet them. Her force of personality made her well-nigh irresistible. The letters she wrote to her writers and to producers are extraordinary documents, filled with all these qualities, and indiscreet, blasphemous and saucy to boot.’ – Simon Callow Full Product DetailsAuthor: Colin Chambers (Author) , Peggy RamsayPublisher: Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Imprint: Oberon Books Ltd Dimensions: Width: 13.00cm , Height: 1.30cm , Length: 21.00cm Weight: 0.310kg ISBN: 9781786826442ISBN 10: 1786826445 Pages: 214 Publication Date: 01 April 2019 Audience: General/trade , General Format: Paperback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: Manufactured on demand  We will order this item for you from a manufactured on demand supplier.
