REVIEWS:
"...marvelous scenes, packed with suppressed tension, torn loyalties and confused, unspoken feelings..."
The New York Times
"Betrayal is an exquisite play, brilliantly simple in form and courageous in its search for a poetry that turns banality into melancholy beauty."
Newsweek
"...a powerful expression of the chasm between recollection and reality, of the gaps between people who need to be intimate with each other."
