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.
