A classic by a Nobel Prize-winner
Tracing back from the ending, layers of betrayals unfold
It’s a simple affair: Emma has a husband, Jerry has a wife. Emma and Jerry loved each other, for seven years. The end. But things are not that simple.
Does he know? Does she know? Does he know he knows? Does she know he knows? He knows he knows but pretends not to know? She knows they know but wish that she doesn’t know? Anxiety is rife among them. The heart has long been dead for each of them. There they are… a woman, two men—but love no longer is as simple as love.
Nobel Prize-winning dramatist Harold Pinter’s iconic work Betrayal premiered in 1978, won an Olivier Award and has since been staged all over the world. This Cantonese version of Betrayal is directed by Assistant Artistic Director Yau Ting Fai, who handles this story with typical Pinteresque caution, unveiling a Rashomon of a marriage—of bliss and of purgatory—to the audience.
