Betrayal

By Harold Pinter

October 5-15, 2023

Directed by

Daniel Gerroll

Winner of numerous awards, including the 1979 Olivier Play of the Year, Betrayal is perhaps Pinter’s most famous “memory play”. It dissects love and marriage with a scalpel of humor, regret, desire, and brutal honesty. Pinter’s genius resides in the words that go unsaid; in Betrayal, it is not so much what we know, but when we know it that is responsible for the real tension.

KCS is thrilled to co-produce this show with Pacific Resident Theater  (PRT), who originally presented this show for an extended run, to rave reviews, in Los Angeles. Two of his earliest plays, Pinter’s Applicant and The Dumb Waiter helped establish the unique Pinter style known as the comedy of menace. These exquisite, absurdist, terrifying yet hilarious plays beg to know what power is in charge of it all and whether or not that power has any idea of what it is doing.

The Dumb Waiter, co-directed by Elina de Santos and Fox, doesn’t disappoint. Downs and Anthony Foux have the Pinter-esque menace down pat. And it’s great to see actors immersing themselves in the cryptically precise language of two artists who were ushering in new styles of playwriting that would forever change how characters speak and act onstage.
