“Bold, intimate.... A deliciously detailed account of living in the thick of creativity and fame.” —Entertainment Weekly, A
Based on Fraser’s recollections and the diaries she has kept since October 1968,
Must You Go?
is the story of a thirty-year marriage, beginning with their initial meeting when Fraser was the wife of a member of Parliament and Pinter was married to a distinguished actress, and ending with Harold’s tragic death after battling illness for many years. In between, we hear firsthand the joy of their love and partnership, as well as the mutual devotion both felt towards their work and the creative process. Courageous, powerful, and extraordinarily compelling,
