Afternoon Play: The Letter 15-10-2008

Wendy Oberman's drama about a woman who, when she receives a letter 50 years too late, discovers her life could have been so very different. Starring Anne Reid and Ian Lindsay.

From The Radio Times

The premise suggests this is going to be one of those rueful dramas about paths not taken. Gwen finds out that a letter she posted 50 years ago to her then boyfriend has only just reached its destination and that her life could have turned out very differently if this communication had not gone astray. But actress Anne Reid has a real knack for stripping away sentimentality and, as Gwen, she realises that the past is a foreign country and a place she wouldn't be happy in. We're familiar with the On Chesil Beach school of regret-how misunderstanding can lead to perpetual misery-so it's a treat for us to find that realist Gwen doesn't feel any less fulfilled once she discovers the truth, and her greater appreciation of what she has achieved makes for an unusual, and decidedly un-schmaltzy, tale.
