Peggy

Rebecca Godfrey’s Peggy is a captivating artistic interpretation of the biography of one of the most outrageous artists of the 20th century. The heiress of two wealthy Jewish dynasties, Peggy Guggenheim’s life is turned upside down at the age of fourteen when her father dies on the Titanic. His death prompts her to seek a new life, pursue her passion, seek personal freedom, and above all, believe in the power of art. We follow Peggy as she navigates the glamorous but sexist and anti-Semitic art worlds of New York and Europe, meeting numerous men who fall in love with her (and her fortune) but fail to recognize her intelligence, talent, and artistic vision. Peggy must balance loyalty to her family with the need to escape her narrow, snobbish framework. The artist's path is turbulent and impetuous, it captivates attention to the last word
