By Trudie Zavadovics Betrayal, Harold Pinter's reworking of the eternal triangle is the first play ta be presenteci by the Durhm Shoestring Per- formers for their 1990/91 season. Director- David Millar who feels a strong afflinity ta Pinýter, chose the play because it poses a challenge: ta a director; ta the actora, and ta the ýaudience. 1 I find Pinter exciting, fas- cinating'and challenging," says Millar. "My role is ta, open up aIl different-possibilities. I use a free-form appraach asklng actors for input, aslong questions.». Betrayal 'is indeed one. big question, -about laye, relation- Shipsilife and language Written in 1977 -Millar calîs Betrayal one df Piter's most accessible aud structured plays. "Mhe structure is presented iu a backwards order. Eacb soene goes back in time. You see the end of the relationship at the beginning. It's one of the more structured of his plays and works on a p lot level. Most don't.»1 ou th' h Millar says everyone will get t h e plot, Bétrayal la not without, Pinter's, faxned ambi-. guity which leaves the -audience ta answer their own questions. «On a plot level, it's about marital betrayal,» says Millar. "Eacb character is betrayed by eacb character. I think Pinter meass it ta be the betrayal -of language. You cant always" ay wbat you want ta, say. I tbink in Pinter, what is not said is as, important as what la said - the famhous Pinter pauses.» Millar says "memýory' is,_ another betrayal. that la evident in the play..-- «ýIt shows.what people say ,ýhap- pened, ta what actually ýhap- pened., It goes froni 1977 ta, 1968 mnbackwards order.», ý Betrayal takes place in -,Loln- don,.
