Betrayal, Harold Pinter
Betrayal integrates different permutations of betrayal relating to a seven-year affair involving a married couple, Emma and Robert, and Robert's "close friend" Jerry, who is also married, to a woman named Judith.
For five years Jerry and Emma carry on their affair without Robert's knowledge, both cuckolding Robert and betraying Judith, until Emma, without telling Jerry she has done so, admits her infidelity to Robert (in effect, betraying Jerry), although she continues their affair.
In 1977, four years after exposing the affair (in 1973) and two years after their subsequent break up (in 1975), Emma meets Jerry to tell him that her marriage to Robert is over.
She then lies to Jerry in telling him that, "last night", she had to reveal the truth to Robert and that he now knows of the affair. The truth however, is that Robert has known about the affair for the past four years.

Seeing Tom Hiddleston play the part of Robert while I was in London was one of the highlights of my Europe trip. This was a great play and a reminder to self that I should watch and read more plays.

This probably works better on the stage than it does on the page. Frankly, I was disappointed.
True to its title, Betrayal is a story about betrayal and deception. The play is centered on three people: Emma, Robert, and Jerry. Emma, who is married to Robert, has had a long-term affair with Robert's best friend Jerry. The opening scene is of Emma and Jerry meeting for a drink two years after their affair has ended. The play then works its way chronologically backwards in time, feeding us more details of their tangled relationships with each new scene.
The play provides a perspective into the way in which we might betray and deceive others, as well as the way in which we might betray and deceive ourselves. I thought it was an interesting look at the attempt to hold onto relationships even though they might not fulfill us or make us happy. Fear of change? Habit? Routine? Boredom? It was interesting watching the characters stumble through their relationships, sometimes as if on automatic pilot.
The best aspect of the play was in how it was structured: in reverse order from the end of the affair to the very beginning. I thought that was truly well done. In fact, what I found so interesting was how the characterizations were developed. By providing you with the ending first, the author allows you to make judgments about these characters, then challenges those judgments by providing more and more insight into their past.
Still, despite these interesting elements, I thought that overall the story was unremarkable.
Final Rating: 3 stars

When I heard that Betrayal was going to be the first socially distanced play at the Theatre Royal, I dug out the book to remind myself why it remains one of Harold Pinter's most beloved and performed plays.
Sure, not having a packed auditorium just isn't the same, but with excellent Covid-safe measures put into place, I'm just pleased to see the theatre open again. The cast was great, especially Nancy Carroll.

Well, it鈥檚 nice, sometimes, to think back. Isn鈥檛 it?
December 12, 2022
The ripple effect of infidelity on two families is masterfully examined in this taut play. Emma and Robert start their affair by finding ways to meet during the day; they are both married and must be home by evening. Eventually they get a flat where they are able to spend time alone - afternoons spent in a dreamy world that will never be. Harold Pinter traces the arc of their affair; from the beginning to the end. The line between 'wanting' and 'desire' is explored in a very non linear way that allows the audience (reader) to be the proverbial 'fly on the wall' as they both realize the true cost of their affair. In the end there is a Prufrockian acceptance of the way things are - and the cost that choice always forces us to pay.

The characters in The Betrayal display a detached, almost resigned attitude toward their own betrayals. This cool, understated tension makes the play unsettling. Instead of explosive confrontations, there鈥檚 silence, subtext, and a passive acceptance of infidelity and dishonesty. Their actions鈥攐r inaction鈥攄o the talking.
This emotional restraint can feel unnatural; in real life, affairs usually lead to anger, guilt, or at least a serious conversation. But it also eerily reflects how some people handle betrayal鈥攂y pretending it doesn鈥檛 matter or refusing to acknowledge the pain. The Betrayal isn鈥檛 aiming for realism in that sense. Instead, it suggests that deception is everywhere, emotions are often hidden, and sometimes betrayal lingers unspoken, filling the spaces between people.
Pinter鈥檚 style leaves much unsaid, making it unclear whether Emma truly loved Jerry or if he was simply an escape from her marriage. She may have cared for both men in different ways, or the affair may have been her attempt to assert autonomy in a world where her role as wife and mother was predefined.
From a woman鈥檚 perspective, I interpreted The Betrayal as more than a love triangle. It锟斤拷s about how women navigate relationships in a world where power is quietly held by men. Emma is neither victim nor villain; she is someone searching for happiness in a system designed to limit her choices鈥攁nd failing to find it.
In some ways, I wanted more鈥攎ore of everything!
The Betrayal leaves much open to interpretation, and I would love to see it performed鈥攅specially the production starring Tom Hiddleston.

I have boyfriend-in-my head Tom Hiddleston (and Charlie Cox) to thank for reading this play. RTC.
Plot summary: Robert is married to Emma, and they have 2 children. Jerry is Robert鈥檚 best friend. Jerry and Emma have been having an affair for 7 years. Jerry is also married to a woman named Judith and they have 2 children. MESSY.
The play opens with Jerry and Emma meeting up a couple of years after they鈥檝e ended their affair. Jerry later finds out that Robert had known about the affair for FOUR years. Then, the play goes backwards: we see Robert and Emma's marriage, Jerry and Robert's friendship and Emma and Jerry's "entanglement" with it ending with Jerry and Emma鈥檚 first kiss.
With the exception of Judith, everyone in this play was horrible but it鈥檚 so well written and darkly hilarious that it didn鈥檛 even bother me that much. Also, when you pick up a play that鈥檚 titled 鈥淏etrayal鈥� you know what you鈥檙e in for 馃槀
Some funny moments AKA Jerry having THEE audacity for 138 pages straight (again, most of the characters in this book are horrible but he is really SOMETHING)
1. Jerry being hilariously offended that Robert knew about his and Emma's affair for 4 years and never told him. Robert, Emma and Jerry were still hanging out as if Robert had no idea.
2. Jerry telling Emma (his mistress) that he thinks that his wife Judith might be cheating on him.... this conversation takes place in his and Emma's love nest by the way.
3. Jerry being sulky that Emma still sleeps with her husband and that he got her pregnant.
Plot summary: Robert is married to Emma, and they have 2 children. Jerry is Robert鈥檚 best friend. Jerry and Emma have been having an affair for 7 years. Jerry is also married to a woman named Judith and they have 2 children. MESSY.
The play opens with Jerry and Emma meeting up a couple of years after they鈥檝e ended their affair. Jerry later finds out that Robert had known about the affair for FOUR years. Then, the play goes backwards: we see Robert and Emma's marriage, Jerry and Robert's friendship and Emma and Jerry's "entanglement" with it ending with Jerry and Emma鈥檚 first kiss.
With the exception of Judith, everyone in this play was horrible but it鈥檚 so well written and darkly hilarious that it didn鈥檛 even bother me that much. Also, when you pick up a play that鈥檚 titled 鈥淏etrayal鈥� you know what you鈥檙e in for 馃槀
Some funny moments AKA Jerry having THEE audacity for 138 pages straight (again, most of the characters in this book are horrible but he is really SOMETHING)
1. Jerry being hilariously offended that Robert knew about his and Emma's affair for 4 years and never told him. Robert, Emma and Jerry were still hanging out as if Robert had no idea.
2. Jerry telling Emma (his mistress) that he thinks that his wife Judith might be cheating on him.... this conversation takes place in his and Emma's love nest by the way.
3. Jerry being sulky that Emma still sleeps with her husband and that he got her pregnant.

From theconversation.com:
The word ruling this play is 鈥渨hen鈥�. When did Jerry know that Emma had told Robert, her husband, of their affair? When did Emma know that Robert knew, and decide not to tell Jerry, but continue it? When did Jerry decide he would not leave Judith, his wife, and was this the catalyst for Emma to say, while pregnant with her son, Ned, that Robert was the father, not Jerry?
When was the moment of real betrayal? When Jerry drunkenly declared undying love to his best friend鈥檚 wife behind his best friend鈥檚 back? When Emma responded? When they slept together for the first time? When they carried on sleeping with their marriage partners?
Scene four: drinks at Robert and Emma鈥檚; Emma offstage, with Ned, Jerry and Robert onstage, talking. What we don鈥檛 see, but will see later, is that Robert knows about the affair, and Emma knows he knows. What we don鈥檛 see, and will never see, is what this means exactly, because she has not given him up, and Robert tolerates this, and so does she 鈥� Robert knowing, Jerry not knowing he knows.
Casually Jerry says he will be taking a trip to America. He has not told Emma, and when he leaves it is clear this is devastating news for her. She then turns to Robert for 鈥� what? Punishment? Pity? Comfort? Is it possible 鈥� that a wife would turn to her husband for solace when her lover casts her off
And:
And a betrayal to the self. For admiting i dont love u anymore is much harder. Even when Emma is giving Jerry the news of her pregnancy she is yearning for a new start but cant say it out loud. And can Robert be also betraying his insticts when he says i preferred to be in a relationship with Jerry myself? And Judith? Living a secret life?

Another great play by Pinter. I've read a handful of his plays and enjoyed them all. Homecoming and the lover being my personal favourites. 4.2/5

I actually listened to this as a BBC Radio Drama () that starred Olivia Colman and Andrew Scott. I'd heard he'd won the BBC Audio Drama, Best Actor Award for it, and I liked him from BBC Sherlock so I thought it would be worth listening to.
This is a very interesting and thought provoking play. First of all, it's presented chronologically backwards... We meet the two people who have had an affair after their affair is over, as they are having a discussion over lunch. The woman reveals she has told her husband that she'd cheated on him with the ex-lover, who is his best friend. He's angry because she didn't consult him first, and then we hear his conversation with his friend...
It proceeds from there, slowly revealing various lies the friends/spouses/lovers have told each other over the years and highlights their reactions to the various "betrayals".
It is very thought provoking. I think my favourite moment of the play was when Andrew Scott's character, Jerry,
It was really a great moment, well acted... In a play full of moments worth listening to. Makes you think about all the different lies and different kinds of betrayals we have in daily life.
(Evidently the play was based on the author's real life affair with a famous female BBC broadcaster.)

I'm going to be honest with ya'll, i didn't get it. Didn't understand the significance and in general what would someone write this.
If i have to look at it in a Brechtian way, yeah it was as pointless as waiting for godot. But if not, i don't even know what it was.

"Jesus. I'm not trying to say anything. I've said precisely what I wanted to say."
This particular dialogue captures the very essence of this play. Words can be interpreted in so many different ways and they can mean thousand different things. But that is not for the writer/speaker to explain. They said what they wanted to say. It is the reader/listener who makes it more through their experiences, insecurities, dreams, doubts, aspirations, and guilts. It is upon us to bring a meaning out of it.
Naturally, this is a play about betrayal. What happens when your wife, mother of your two children betrays? Betrays with your best friend? What happens when you trust people with loving you and they toss that trust into a gutter as if it was nothing? Well, we don't know. 'Cause Pinter never shows us that. Rather he takes us into the affair, tells us a story of it in backward. We start with the end of the relationship and end with the beginning.
And in all its glory it shows us a tale that leaves us to decide what is right, who is the wrong one here.
I hope one day, somewhere, someplace I can see it on stage. One day!

Betrayal, or I prefer to say 鈥淏etrayals鈥� is written on the same theme and subject as the name suggests. In this play, people are not just betraying their lovers and beloveds or even friends; they are at the same time betraying themselves, creating a deceptive reality. It is not easy to say who is the victim in this play. Firstly, we should find who is guilty, and the answer is that everybody is to an extent guilty, so that makes everybody victims, as well. The feeling of lack is the motivation behind all these betrayals and deceptions, so all the characters hide themselves behind masks and play this game of betrayal. Emma lacks the love of her husband, or maybe she is not satisfied with it, so she turns to Jerry being once again disillusioned, and she starts another relationship with Casey. We cannot blame Robert for Emma鈥檚 feeling of incompleteness, but we should blame him for putting up with the affair and living along with it, betraying himself, his wife, and his friend by being indifferent (not to mention that he was also having an affair). This play is full of ambiguities and unanswered questions and the audience is not presented with the dramatic irony, so it is difficult to judge the characters without putting one鈥檚 self in their shoes and playing along. For me, Jerry鈥檚 motivation for starting the relationship is of the same vagueness. It can be both lust and jealousy, or fear of losing a dear friend since Emma has appeared as the wife of Robert. Jerry is also committing the same mistake of Robert; indifference to his wife, and it is funny that he cares for his reputation regarding Robert, not his wife, so this may illustrate that he cares more for his friendship than his wife (his wife is also seeing someone). Judith is also guilty. She is not physically present in the scenes, and she is always busy, doing her profession which may show her lack of importance in Jimmy鈥檚 life; she is not really trying to communicate with Jerry. Gaps exist in real life and one cannot completely fill them. According to Jacques Lacan, we are in search of the 鈥渙bjet petit a(s)鈥�, but this quest is futile, we never can feel complete the moment we are detached from our mother (Jerry and Robert also refer to the detachment from the womb), so everybody is trapped in this game of wild goose chase to play the culprit and the victim. There is no winning in this game of life. The best way may be accepting these shortcomings and dealing with them. However, the characters in this play are running from reality and denying the truth.

Really good stuff! The scenes are told in reverse chronology with the theme being an affair - where Jerry is Robert's best friend, and he has an affair with Robert's wife, Emma. It's not just the plot that makes it, or the subliminal tension of each scene, but the combination of that with the structure and returning motifs throughout the play that really take it to the next level.

There are different kinds of betrayal in this play. The betrayal of friendship,of love,of time, of memory and self-betrayal. There is also adultery and guilt.
Through the play we see Jerry and Emma have embarked on a 7 affair, but the action starts on a date two years after their relationship is over and ends at the party where the spark was first ignited. Emma and Jerry are both married with kids- in fact Jerry was best Man at Emma's wedding-but they are hopelessly drawn to each other,although time is not a good companion to lovers.
Everybody keeps appearances and wears mask. There is a coldness to the play as the characters are icemen/woman. They are not particularly likeable constantly hiding emotions, manking them with intelectual pseudo narcissistic dialogues and making everything uncomfortable around them. I like more reading between the lines, deciphering their silences, what lies beneath their stone-like skins.
I'm not usually into Mr Pinter, but I got curious after some feedback and now I'm eager to watch Jeremy Iron's performance in the 80's movie. It will sure improve my Rating.
