Betrayal

[foxy]

Written by Harold Pinter in 1978 this new production with terrific performances by Tom Hiddleston, Zawe Ashton and Charlie Cox moves back and forth in time making great use of it’s stark set. Jerry has had a seven year affair with his best friend Robert’s wife Emma. What I found most poignant was not just the words they were speaking but the silences which said so much more.

I remember studying Pinter in college and discussing how he indicates pauses and silences throughout his plays. There's one famous stage direction that says "Pause. Silence."
