Ideal for readers interested in arts and culture, as well as admirers of Harold Pinter's work who appreciate psychologically nuanced drama and innovative storytelling techniques.

Betrayal by Harold Pinter explores the politics of betrayal, sex and desire, with wit, colour and clarity. First staged at the National Theatre in 1978, the show is critically regarded as one of Harold Pinter's major dramatic works.

Description
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 recurring theme which has found its proper scenic correlative. Pinter captures the psyche's sly manoeuvres for self-respect with a sardonic forgiveness.
A master craftsman honouring his talent by setting it new, difficult tasks.
