1978 play by Harold Pinter

For other uses, see Betrayal (disambiguation).

Betrayal is a play written by Harold Pinter in 1978. Critically regarded as one of the English playwright's major dramatic works, it features his characteristically economical dialogue, characters' hidden emotions and veiled motivations, and their self-absorbed competitive one-upmanship, face-saving, dishonesty, and (self-) deceptions.^[1]

Inspired by Pinter's clandestine extramarital affair with BBC Television presenter Joan Bakewell, which spanned seven years, from 1962 to 1969,^[2] the plot of 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.

Marital infidelity is a recurrent topos in Harold Pinter's drama, one which has enabled various arrangements of three interrelated concerns underpinning his entire production: 'the impossibility of verification, the invasion of territory, and the masking of emotion in the deployment of language', to borrow Elin Diamond's well-known summary. 1 This presence becomes particularly intense in Pinter's memory plays, where adultery plays a crucial role in the characters' conflictive reconstructions of the past, and takes centre stage in Betrayal (1978), where it becomes the stated and ostensible topic of the whole plot.

Here, unlike what happens in its cognate pieces Old Times and No Man's Land, Emma's past love affair with her husband's best friend and business associate is not only verified, but actuall
