«Betrayal» is the play by Harold Pinter, published by Faber & Faber in paperback (128 pages, in English).
The play reveals the inner workings of an extramarital affair over several years, told in reverse chronological order to underscore how deceit and the passage of time distort memory and affections. More than a story of adultery, it is a reflection on the politics of betrayal and the harm it causes to all involved.
The play premiered at the National Theatre in London in 1978; this Faber & Faber edition was published in March 2013.
Aimed at readers of theatre and twentieth-century British literature, and at students analysing Pinter's work.
