About the Performance:
The play Betrayal by British playwright Harold Pinter, written in 1978, highlights the complexity of human relationships, infidelity, and manipulation. Pinter masterfully explores the psychology of unfaithfulness and romantic entanglements, emphasizing the power of the unspoken and of subtle gestures. The play’s unusual structure, which moves between past, present, and future, creates tension and mystery. Pinter’s dramatic language is renowned for its use of silence, nuance, and implication. The time shifts add a sense of uncertainty to the situation, leaving the audience room for personal interpretation. With its subtlety and complexity, Betrayal stands as one of Pinter’s masterpieces on (romantic) relationships and social dynamics.
