Just the Ticket! is an invaluable resource on South African theatre, written by Percy Tucker
The book
The full title of this book is Just the Ticket! My 50 Years in South African Show Business and it a reminiscence about theatre in South Africa during the second half of the twentieth century by the founder of Computicket.
Offering a first-hand view of Tucker's journey from these modest beginnings to becoming the trusted advisor and confidant to theatrical managements, the guide and comforter of visiting international stars and something of an unofficial impresario himself, it is told with humour, humility, nostalgia and a sense of history.
The publication has biographical details on major performers and artists as well as listings of numerous plays produced Tucker's in the active years.
The digital version
On the occasion of his 90th birthday, 10th July 2018, the book was made available for free online [1]
