Betrayal, the acclaimed play by Harold Pinter, returns to the stage with a gripping exploration of love, loyalty, and deception. The story follows Emma, Robert, and Jerry, whose lives intertwine in a complex love triangle that challenges the boundaries between intimacy and friendship. Told in reverse chronology, the play gradually reveals hidden truths, exposing layers of secrecy and contradiction. As the narrative moves backward in time, audiences are invited to reflect on the silences, unspoken tensions, and emotional ambiguities that shape human relationships. With its precise dialogue and psychological depth, Betrayal remains a powerful and timeless portrait of the fragile nature of trust and desire.

With a cast of 30 led by Rodrigo Simas and Eduardo Borelli, this vibrant staging fuses rock, poetry, and raw emotion to explore freedom, identity, and protest in a turbulent era.

Dear Readers, first off there were way too many empty seats at the Paramount last night for the new musical version of “Some Like It Hot”. Where were you all? Do you not like musicals?

Secondly, for our performance we got the added opportunity to see the resilience of theater people and the power of the understudy. But more on that later.
