In this semi-autobiographical play, the Florence International Theatre Company will explore the risks and depth of betrayal between spouses, lovers and friends. This production will star Aaron Craig, Andrea Giorgi, Alessandro Grisolini and Bari Hochwald.Stephen Rothman, former Artistic Director of both the Pasadena Playhouse and Sacramento Theater Company in California, USA, and director of professional theatre for over 30 years, will bring his talents to the direction of this production. Sets and Lights will be designed by Trui Malten and Costumes by Florence clothing stylist Giorgio Vannini.
"Betrayal" tells the story of a classic love triangle, in which Emma betrays her husband, Robert, a publisher, by conducting a seven-year affair with his best friend, Jerry, a literary agent. The action moves backwards in time, beginning with the end of the affair and working remorselessly to the first stolen kiss.
To read their words:
In April at the Cestello, we will explore together the humanity of desire - the struggle and humor of unbearable moments - in this important work by a great writer. Stephen Rothman, who is coming to Florence in support of FITC, will bring his talents to the direction of this production. In Harold Pinter's "Betrayal" we find a meditation on the themes of marital infidelity, self-deception and love. A human drama which simply and deeply pulls us into the complex world we all engage in, Pinter takes us on a journey of comprehending the ecstasy and the pain of intimate relationships as well as the ability to both maintain and destroy them.
