Overview
Harold Pinter’s acclaimed play BETRAYAL is also his most personal. Three friends become caught in a love triangle with a difference. As Emma and Jerry embark on their affair, guilt heightens the electric thrill of secret love. But Emma’s husband Robert is also Jerry’s best friend. Will their friendship survive and how much does Robert know?
With its ingenious twist – pure Pinter – this is without a doubt an affair to remember.
