BETRAYAL by Harold Pinter
MONDAY, NOVEMBER 8 at 7:30pm
Directed by Jason Heil
Featuring Monique Gaffney, Mike Sears and Claudio Raygoza
The classic dramatic
scenario of the love triangle is manifest in Pinter's engaging character play,
a mediation on the themes of marital infidelity, duplicity, and self-deception.
Betrayal begins with a meeting
between adulterous lovers, Emma and Jerry, two years after their affair has
ended. During the nine scenes of
the play, we move back in time, through the states of their affair, with the
play ending in the house of Emma and Robert, her husband, who is Jerry’s best
friend. We are excited to explore one of our favorite
playwrights most compelling works.
