Barbara Bray

Through my recent researching on this topic I found out that Barbara Bray, Beckett's lady-friend later, in early 1950s taught English in Alexandria University, Egypt and one of her students, an Egyptian named Mensi, went to continue his studies in Liverpool Universitty, and later Bray became Head of Drama Department at BBC Radio 3, and then Mensi joined her there and she liked and admired his eccentricities and wild ways so much that she was instrumental in introducing him to Beckett with whom he established a firm friendship. Mensi who started his life in England as a dish washer in restaurants ended as a man of property in southern England
