Betrayal

Playwright Harold Pinter’s Betrayal is told in reverse chronology, starting in 1977 with a couple’s reconnection in a pub; it moves backward, ending in 1968 when the couple first unites. Pinter presents interesting philosophical conundrums of what constitutes loyalty and betrayal in this 90-minute, no-intermission play. A strong three-person cast of Chad Deverman as Jerry and Elena Wright as Emma—the two main characters who are having a seven-year affair behind the back of Emma’s husband Robert (Michael Patrick Wiles)—is directed by Janis Stevens. Th, 7pm; F, 8pm; Sa, 2pm and 8pm; W 7pm. $28-$40. Through 2/26. Captiol Stage, 2215 J Street; (916) 995-5464; www.capstage.org. P.R.
