Betrayal - Show Information

Accessible, elegant and menacing, this story of the ultimate love triangle is widely considered to be one of Pinter's finest works, a gripping study of adultery.

Emma has had a 7 year affair with Jerry, her husband's best friend and best man. But it's over now. Pinter's fraught play begins with what would traditionally be its final scene, with Emma and Jerry meeting two years after the conclusion of their affair, as Emma's marriage to Robert is finally crumbling. Each scene of this compelling masterpiece moves back in time to the fateful moment when the infidelity begins, taking the audience back through a series of events which lead the protagonists to their unhappy conclusions.
