- Description
After nearly forty years of marriage, Joan and Joe Castleman (Glenn Close and Jonathan Pryce) make a perfectly complementary couple. Where Joe is casual, Joan is elegant. Where Joe is vain, Joan is modest.
And where Joe enjoys the media attention of being a prominent American writer, Joan impresses with her intelligence, charm and diplomacy. His literary star has shone since he and Joan met in the late 1950s. Now Joe is about to receive the Nobel Prize for his acclaimed and prolific work.
The Wife interweaves the story of a couple full of youthful passion and vigour with a portrait of a marriage of more than thirty years that was not without life's compromises...
