		Now Alan Plater, one of her clients, has written this comic valentine to her, a fictional day-in-the-life that captures all her genius and deviltry, and provides Maureen Lipman with the opportunity for a delightful and magnetic performance.
		Striding elegantly among the pies of scripts that litter her office floor, or perching anywhere convenient, shoes off and feet up, she captures the energy and authority of a woman who is always confident she's right, even if she's not sure what the question is.
		On the phone she can confuse Alan Plater with Alan Ayckbourn (as she repeatedly did in life), just because they're both from up north somewhere, or casually lose Redman's character a six-figure movie deal (while he stands there in shock) because she disapproves of the producer.

	The Company Of Players \| Reviews \| Peggy For You
		Alan Plater, who was himself one of Peggy's playwright clients for some thirty years, has managed to condense many undoubtedly fairly real events that occurred over several years into one fictitious 'day-in-the-life'.
		It must have taken a very special kind of person indeed to work for Peggy for long, and whether this character was Plater's own concoction or an amalgam of various real life characters I do not know.
		Similarly, Plater more than likely drew upon real characters whose lives Peggy Ramsay had irrevocably touched to provide the basis for the three playwrights.
