Bold Productions & Aberystwyth Arts Centre present BETRAYAL, by Harold Pinter |
Directed by Richard Hull At Aberystwyth Arts Centre, Thursday 14 and Friday 15 March, 2013. Jerry and Emma love each other, and their love weaves a labyrinth of betrayals that extend beyond the relationship and touch something at the heart of every living creature. Emma betrays her husband; Jerry betrays his best friend and also his own wife, Judith. But it turns out that Robert has been betraying Emma with other women. Jerry, an author’s agent, and Robert, a publisher, are successful figures in the publishing world, but Pinter hints that their careers are also betrayals of a deeper vision that they once had. Their civilised acceptance of these endlessly breeding betrayals finally creates a quiet revulsion that brings the affair to a desolate close. Aberystwyth based touring company - Bold Productions - return to the works of Harold Pinter for their Spring 2013 tour. 'I've been chasing the professional touring rights for this play for six years - and they have never been available due to its popularity as well as regular London and touring productions in the UK. It is by far and away the most accessible of Harold Pinter's works - a clear plot and situation that so many audiences will be able to relate to in some way - and its reverse chronology provides the audience with information and insight that the characters are yet to have. For example, Jerry and Robert are at dinner. Robert knows that Jerry has been having an affair with his wife for many years. We know this. Robert knows this. But Jerry is in the dark. It makes for gripping entertainment. The play continues Bold's mandate for producing contemporary classics - our previous tours include Stephen King's 'MISERY', John Osborne's 'LOOK BACK IN ANGER' and in October 2013 we shall be touring a stage adaptation of two classic episodes of 'STEPTOE & SON'. ‘ Richard Hull (director).
