The play by Harold Pinter is a reverse chronology that begins at the end of the affair and usually has a young cast. There’s a lot more depth in casting older actors, she says.

“Betrayal” runs through March 30 at Goodman Theatre, 170 North Dearborn. Showtimes vary; tickets begin at $40 and are available by calling the Goodman box office at (312)443-3800 or visiting goodmantheatre.org/betrayal.

Under the direction of artistic director Susan V. Booth and bolstered by actors at the heights of their craft, the Goodman’s BETRAYAL provides audiences with a sincere and sympathetic take on a modern classic.

This revival of the renowned Harold Pinter play stars Oscar and Emmy award-winner Helen Hunt, and she is playing to a lot of sold-out performances.
