Pam Gems

English playwright, b. Bransgrove, Hampshire, 1925

Pam Gems's principal theme is the position, treatment and aspirations of women in a male-dominated world. She works within the suspect genre of the bioplay. The RSC staged two of her plays, Queen Christina and Piaf, within a year of each other at The Other Place. Piaf, an unsentimental portrait of the great French singer, was a major success, transferring to the West End and then to Broadway. Camille, from Dumas's La dame aux Camelias, was only a little less successful, while The Danton Affair, about men rather than damaged women, was a departure.
