Harold Pinter's "Betrayal" to close 31 Jan 04 at the Duchess Theatre

The Theatre Royal Bath production of Harold Pinter's Betrayal, will close on 31 Jan 2004 after a limited 3 month run at the Duchess Theatre.

Directed by Peter Hall, the play received terrific notices from the popular press when it opened in Oct 2003: SARAH HEMMING for THE FINANCIAL TIMES says, "Fine revival." IAN JOHNS for THE TIMES says, "Absorbing production." NICHOLAS DE JONGH for THE EVENING STANDARD says, "When it comes to adultery, few contemporary plays match Harold Pinter's Betrayal."

The play features Janie Dee, Aden Gillett and Hugo Speer

It is designed by John Gunter, with lighting by Peter Mumford.

Emma has had a seven year affair with Jerry, her husband's best friend and best man. But it's over now. Beginning at the end of the affair, each scene of Pinter's play moves backwards in time to the fateful moment when the infidelity begins.
