Director Braden Abraham To Stage BETRAYAL At Seattle Rep
Up-and-coming Seattle director Braden Abraham (My Name is Rachel Corrie) stages Harold Pinter's love-triangle-with-a-twist Betrayal at Seattle Repertory Theatre, February 19-March 22, 2009. In this fresh retelling of Pinter's gripping drama, a woman's illicit relationship with her husband's best friend is played out in reverse, from the end of the affair to their first encounter.
Betrayal plays in Seattle Rep's intimate Leo K. Theatre. Previews begin February 19, with opening night set for February 25. Tickets are available through the Seattle Repertory Theatre box office seven days a week at (206) 443-2222, toll-free at (877) 900-9285, as well as online at www.seattlerep.org.
Director Braden Abraham directed My Name is Rachel Corrie for Seattle Rep in 2007. Other recent projects include Paul Mullin's The Ten Thousand Things at Washington Ensemble Theatre and The K of D by Laura Schellhardt. His cast features Seattle-based actress Cheyenne Casebier (most recently seen as Milady in the Rep's The Three Musketeers) and New York actors Alex Podulke and David Christopher Wells (most recently seen on Broadway in Tom Stoppard's award winning trilogy The Coast of Utopia).
Harold Pinter, one of contemporary theatre's most influential playwrights, died Dec. 24, 2008. The New York Times called Betrayal "the most accessible of Mr. Pinter's major works. Betrayal draws you into a situation you think you know all too well, from literature if not life: the romantic triangle...Mr. Pinter has invested a well-worn formula with a gnawing, transforming sense of just how opaque people remain to one another."
Performance Details: Performances of Betrayal are at 7:30 p.m., Tuesday through Sunday, with 2 p.m. matinees on Saturday and Sundays. Post-play discussions will be held after the performances on Sunday, March 8 at 2 p.m. and Sunday, March 15 at 2 p.m. There is an audio-described performance on Saturday, March 14 at 2 p.m. and an American Sign Language (ASL)-interpreted performance on Sunday, March 15 at 2 p.m.
