Tension, secrets, and lies unspool backwards during a seven-year love affair between a wife and her husband’s best friend.
Betrayal
Written by Harold Pinter
Directed by Alex Levy
October 8 – 25, 2026
Emma, Robert and Jerry have history. As her marriage to Robert comes to an end, Emma reconnects with Jerry, her former lover—and her husband’s best friend—as the action unspools backwards in time in an inventive retelling by the Nobel Prize-winning playwright. At once utterly domestic and dangerous, uncovering hidden truths and revealing how little we know about those we think we know so much about, it’s an “elegy about time and memory (where) the greatest dramatic weight lies in what’s unspoken”- The New York Times
