“People can expect some very nuanced performances on stage. It’s going to be one-and-a-half hours of absolutely engaging theatre,” says Rachel D’Souza, the director of the play.
Critically regarded as one of Pinter’s dramatic works, it intricately navigates the evolving relationships between three characters through a series of meetings and conversations.
Rachel tells us, “During the pandemic, I was drawn to several classic texts and stories about relationships. This is one such story and that got me really excited.”
Betrayal features actors Sukant Goel, Abir Abrar, and Vivek Gomber in lead roles. “The play has complex characters who put themselves out there.” Rachel articulates.
“They are three very unlikable characters who are unfaithful, play with family, values of society, etc. But there is something inside of them that makes them want to do all this.”
Music plays a pivotal role in this production, with Nush Lewis’s mastery of the harp adding emotional depth by seamlessly transitioning between scenes.
As Aadyam Theatre gears up to make its debut in Bengaluru after its successful runs in Mumbai and Delhi, Rachel shares that it’s an exciting time for the team.
