Synopsis"One of the most essential artists produced by the twentieth century. Pinter's work gets under our skin more than that of any living playwright." -- New York Times Upon its premiere at the National Theatre, Betrayal was immediately recognized as a masterpiece. It won the Olivier Award for best new play, and has since been performed all around the world and made into an Academy Award-nominated film starring Jeremy Irons, Ben Kingsley, and Patricia Hodge. 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 stages of their affair, ending in the house of Emma and her husband Robert, Jerry's best friend. "[ Betrayal ] deals with the shifting balance of power in triangular relationships, and with the pain of loss. . . . Pinter probes the corrosive nature of betrayal . . . a world where pain and loss are explored with poetic precision." -- Guardian " Betrayal is an exquisite play, brilliantly simple in form and courageous in its search for a poetry that turns banality into a melancholy beauty." -- Newsweek "There is hardly a line into which desire, pain, alarm, sorrow, rage or some, Harold Pinter is known to both British and American theater audiences as one of the most exciting and accomplished playwrights of our time. Betrayal is Pinter's latest full-length play since the enormous success of No Man's Land. The play begins in 1977, 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 stages of their affair, with the play ending in the house of Emma and Robert, her husband, who is Jerry's best friend., "One of the most essential artists produced by the twentieth century.

A brilliant writer at the top of his game
Pinter is a genius. A character may say three words, but there’s pages of subtext. Don’t let the production you saw with improperly trained and horribly unprepared actors ruin this playwright for you. And this play specifically is so tense, devastating, and beautiful. The physical script was in excellent shape. Like new. Extremely minor wear.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
