Coming in November...a tangled chronicle of dishonesty, deception and desire

Betrayal, written by Harold Pinter, directed by Thomas Power

Inspired by the playwright’s own seven-year affair, Betrayal reveals its treacherous story in reverse chronological order, beginning at the end of the deception and ending at the start. For five years, Emma and Jerry carry on behind Robert’s back. Emma eventually confesses her infidelity to Robert while continuing the affair.The duplicity persists in woven layers of lies and deceit, only to be stripped bare, exposing the human capacity for betraying ourselves, and the ones we love.
