Rezension zu „Position of Peggy Harper “
"The special thing that Merrick could do, and which no one else seems to have done, is to reproduce the atmosphere of low-class theatrical life: the smell of greasepaint and fish and chips, the sordid rivalries . . . the forlorn collection of press cuttings, the manager who bolts in the middle of the tour with all the takings." --George Orwell
