“To My Wife” is written by Harold Pinter for Lady Antonia Fraser whom he married shortly after his fiftieth birthday.
There is something unique in finding love later in life. No longer the prisoner of the Darwinian imperative to breed we have little need to look to the future, leaving love free to bloom in the moment.
“To My Wife” was written at the end of Pinter’s life when he had lived with cancer for several years, hence the many references to death and rebirth.
