Betrayal
by Harold Pinter (1978)
As we approach the end of the century, and twenty years after it was given its world premiere in the Lyttelton, Harold Pinter's ultimate 'triangular relationship' play can be seen as one of the defining works of our time.
'Betrayal is a new departure and a bold one... Pinter has found a way of making memory active and dramatic, giving an audience the experience of the mind's accelerating momentum as it pieces together the past with a combination of curiosity and regret. He shows man betrayed not only by man, but by time... a master craftsman honouring his talent by setting it new, difficult tasks' New Society
