Betrayal
The Duke University Department of Theater Studies will present Betrayal by Harold Pinter. The play is a senior distinction project for three of Duke’s most experienced actors, Ross Buckley, Davis Hasty and Madeleine Lambert.
Betrayal will play in Brody Theater on Duke’s East Campus Nov. 15-17 at 8 pm and Nov. 18 at 2 pm. Admission is free.
Betrayal is the classic dramatic scenario of a love triangle and a meditation on the themes of marital infidelity, duplicity and self-deception. Written by the 2005 Nobel Laureate in Literature, the play is, according to London’s Daily Telegraph, “… a drama in which every word earns its place in the script. The dialogue is spare but immensely rich, and the narrative technique offers levels of irony, and a sense of implacable fate, that reveal a dramatist at the very height of his imaginative and organisational powers.”
