November 14 Betrayal

View through CrossRef
Abstract I went to the 2000 revival of Betrayal as someone who had never quite connected with the work of Harold Pinter. His early plays were produced before I started attending serious drama. Three of them made quite a stir on Broadway: The Birthday Party (London, 1958; New York, 1967), The Caretaker (1960/1961), and The Homecoming (1965/1967). I read them, all three together, when I was about fifteen. Not the optimal introduction to Pinter, I suppose. Still, I found them absorbing, and I dutifully went to see the next Pinter play to make it across the pond. But Old Times (1970/1971) left me totally unengaged. I have duly attended the other two Pinter plays that have made it to The 1980 Broadway production of Broadway, but I found No Man’s Betrayal was so pallid that it made no Land (1974/1976) stodgy and Be-impression on me whatsoever.
