Description

Betrayal is a new and bold play by Harold Pinter, where memory becomes a dramatic force, piecing together the past with a mix of curiosity and regret. The play explores the theme of betrayal, not just by human action, but also by time, and how it affects the psyche's self-respect. Pinter's narrative method delves deeper into the complexities of human emotions, such as desire, pain, and sorrow, and how they are intertwined. The play's focus is not on sex or adultery, but on the politics of betrayal and its impact on all involved. This thought-provoking work was first staged at the National Theatre in 1978 and has since been revived at various theatres, including the Almeida Theatre in London.
