Thought-provoking, Intense, Great acting, Ambitious

It is Betrayal as I've never seen it before, and like this entire season, it bathes Pinter in a brilliant new light.

This is a magnificent, searing account of Pinter's most autobiographically charged play ... and it brings Lloyd's classy season of Pinter at the Pinter to an end with a fine flourish.

The coolness of it all means that some of the play’s emotional potency is diluted, but it’s always gripping – and superbly performed, particularly by Hiddleston.
