Betrayal, Theatre Review. The Harold Pinter Theatre, London.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

Cast: Tom Hiddleston, Zawe Ashton, Charlie Cox, Eddie Arnold.

The act of infidelity is one that causes infinite pain, but also brings a state of war within the soul of the people affected, regardless of whether they are the instigator of the close-knit treachery or the one left behind, unknowing, blissful in their ignorance, loyal to the ideal that they have in their mind that their world is safe from such corruption.

There’s a lot of media baggage that gets dragged along whenever a new production of the late Harold Pinter gets a much needed run on a tour. The fact that Pinter’s work can rouse so much passion and enjoyment in almost every line, even when some of the audience can be audibly heard afterwards that they didn’t get what the play was about, just adds to the mystique and power of the man’s writing as everyone decided to dissect each and every line.
