Writer: Harold Pinter
Director: Caroline Bell-Booth
Actors: Oliver Driver, Michelle Langstone, Colin Moy
Location: Herald Theatre
LOVE AND DECEIT. TOLD IN REVERSE.
The high price of passion is examined when an illicit affair destroys a marriage and sabotages a friendship.
Robert and Jerry were best friends.
Robert and Emma were married.
Jerry and Emma were lovers.
Welcome to the tangled emotional world of BETRAYAL
Peeling back the layers of time to reveal the unexpected, Harold Pinter captures the psyche's sly manouevres for self-respect with sardonic forgiveness.
This was slick! The way the play was written, where the story unfolded in reverse order, required you to pay close attention. My only criticism was that I didn’t find the story emotionally engaging - merely intellectually stimulating. The casting and acting were brilliant. Both Oliver Driver and Colin Moy were exceptional and Michelle Langstone was mesmerizing. This was an excellent production.
