Betrayal

A haunting, passionate tale of love, of marriage, of adultery, and of the poignancy of the passage of time, told by contemporary drama’s master of the unspoken thought. Beginning two years after the end of Emma’s affair with her husband’s best friend, the play moves backwards in time to its unforgettable conclusion: the tremulous moment when the affair began. Along the way we discover how many different faces the word ‘betrayal’ has. A touching and surprising play which Newsweek called “poetry that turns banality into a melancholy beauty.”
