It is 20 years since The Ivy re-opened its doors. It has been at the heart of London's theatrical life ever since. This new book, Heavenly Ivy, is a celebration of The Ivy, its guests, history and members. With a secret hotline for celebrities to book a table, and past and regular visitors including such luminaries such as Sir Harold Pinter, Nol Coward, Stephen Fry, Tony Curtis, Winston Churchill and Steven Spielberg, as well as umpteen members of the British royal family The Ivy really is the place to see and be seen. This new book celebrates that history and includes a short play celebrating The Ivy's past and present written by celebrated playwright and iconic figure in the British theatre, Sir Ronald Harwood. Also included are contributions from legendary Ivy director Fernando Peire and renowned writer, critic and theatre luminary Ruth Leon. Heavenly Ivy also features original sketches by Brian Grimwood, one of the most innovative and influential illustrators of our time.
