Betrayal
EXTENDED BY POPULAR DEMAND!
Stage and screen stars Helen Hunt (Oscar, Emmy, Golden Globe Awards), Robert Sean Leonard (Tony Award) and Ian Barford (Tony Award nominee) form the “eternal triangle” in Susan V. Booth’s major revival of Pinter’s famed masterwork.
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 backward 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” (New York Times).
Betrayal contains depictions of marital infidelity and brief nudity.

“The mastery of the craft of playwriting” is just one thing that drew cast members Helen Hunt, Robert Sean Leonard and Ian Barford to Betrayal at Goodman Theatre. Don’t miss your chance to experience this “brilliant” play before it sells out.
