Harold Pinter's "Betrayal" is a very pithy and interesting play about trust, love, and empathy. I've seen other Pinter works but this was my first experience of Betrayal.Written on Jun 29 2009
The set was stark -- props made of boxes creatively morphed into chairs, tables, beds, etc. Time, place, and scenery was via a projected video.
The ensemble cast worked very well together.
I was to live theater Thu, Fri, and Sat with a guest from NYC. This was the best of the 3 plays we saw.
I like the idea of the Actors Theatre, and their serious drama offerings.
The theater staff were gracious about admitting several Goldstar patrons even though the reservations did not appear on their roster. It's the first time something like this happened.

I attended the preview, so I expect they will snap it into perfect shape within a couple of performances.Written on May 29 2009
Terrific script, great venue, clever staging. The acting was mostly fantastic, but the men's English accents sometimes took the believability down a notch or two. And though just a bit part, the waiter's accent was somewhere between American, Italian, and English... but really none of them.

Boreing, phoney accents and talkie. A very overworked theme. Not my cup of tea.Written on Jun 15 2009

More Information About Harold Pinter's Betrayal
Description
<p>The plot revolves around two couples, Robert and Emma, and Jerry and the unseen Judith. Robert, Emma and Jerry become involved in a web of infidelity: Emma and Jerry conduct an seven-year affair, which Robert discovers in its fourth year. Robert then cheats on Emma. This play memory play uses the distortion of time to reveal how each character is emotionally isolated by their actions of deceit and self -gratification. Considered Pinter's masterwork Betrayal uses this love triangle to create moments of awkward and strained encounters and brutal silence that get below the surface of social propriety and to the depths of human interaction.
Betrayal is a richly textured drama that exposes social pretense and unmitigated emotions that draws us into the same complex world we all inhabit and makes us believe simultaneously in the endurance and the transience of relationships and in the ecstasy and pain of intimacy.</p>
About the Ticket Supplier: Actors Theatre of San Francisco
Founded in August of 1989 by a group of professional actors and directors who shared a common desire to produce ensemble theatre works, the founding members of the Actors Theatre of San Francisco committed themselves to creating a permanent repertory company whose work would reflect their ideals of ensemble theatre: a theatre where all the participants share the same artistic vision, have a unified approach to the rehearsal process and a desire to create revelatory theatre that surpasses their desire for individual gain. The founding members gave themselves no restriction as to style, content or period. Instead, they committed themselves to producing theatre that is designed to enlighten and illuminate the human condition.
