Fresh from standing-room-only runs on Broadway and London’s West End, Thursday’s Child presents Harold Pinter’s masterpiece Betrayal – a searing exploration of love, deception and desire.

The Olivier Award-winning play charts the story of an illicit affair thrillingly told in reverse, from the end of a marriage to the first forbidden spark.

Inspired by Pinter’s seven-year affair with BBC presenter Joan Bakewell, Betrayal is as intricate as a spy novel, full of double-crosses and shifting loyalties. With razor-sharp dialogue, biting humour and extraordinary emotional impact, Betrayal is Pinter at his passionate best.

What the critics are saying:

"The greatest and the most moving of Pinter’s plays ... [a] masterpiece." - The Telegraph

"Pinter’s 1978 tale of a sexual triangle … [is] one of those rare shows [you] seem destined to think about forever." - The New York Times

"Dramatic, intelligent and compelling… Pinter at his best." - The Sydney Morning Herald
