"A day in the life of Peggy Ramsay, the most celebrated play agent of her time. Set in her chaotic office, is an account of this 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, Caryl Churchill, Christopher Hampton, Henry Livings, Stephen Poliakoff, Alan Ayckbourn, Edward Bond and, for thirty years, Plater himself."--BOOK JACKET.
