The story takes place primarily in London and opens in the 1960’s with the death of Alexander Wilson (played by Iain Glen), Ruth’s husband of twenty years. Wilson boasts an astonishing bit of casting: the main character is portrayed by Ruth Wilson, Mrs. Wilson (scriptwriter Anna Symon) is based on the true story of Alison McKelvie Wilson’s life of love, duplicity and betrayal in Britain during and after World War II. Wilson is a PBS Masterpiece three-part mini-series which aired during the early spring of this year.
