Betrayal, By Harold Pinter, Boyer Theatre

By Harold Pinter

Directed by Carey Perloff

The end is the beginning. Moving backwards and forwards in time, Betrayal illuminates a seven-year affair between Emma and Jerry, her husband Robert’s closest friend. As the story unravels, the tension between memory and reality is sharpened, revealing shifting perspectives, hidden motives, unspoken power dynamics, and titillating pleasure behind the deception.

Laced with Pinter’s signature wit, this piercing drama is a masterclass in what is said — and unsaid — between lovers and friends.

Words and silences punctuate the irreversible consequences of long-concealed truths and betrayals which reverberate far beyond a single act.

The runtime for this show is 1 hour and 45 minutes including intermission.

This play is recommended for ages 16 and up.
