BWW Review: BETRAYAL at 4615 THEATRE COMPANY
by Mary Lincer - Aug 19, 2019


Because infidelity and adultery have been so frequently deconstructed in theatre, film, television, and literature during the four decades since Nobel Prize and Tony Award winner Harold Pinter wrote Betrayal, the play's novelty has rather worn off. But that does not get in the way of this production by 4615 Theatre Company.

Betrayal remains a great piece of work about three real pieces of work.
