Betrayal
Josh Sumner – Chicago Reader
As the points of Pinter’s triangle, Kathy Logelin, Ian Novak, and Mark Richard pepper the subtle cruelties of the piece with dry humor.

Doug Deuchler – Wednesday Journal
The acting is especially superb. This intriguing, three-character dark comedy explores the stages of an extramarital affair. It’s one of Pinter’s major works and it’s quite accessible…Logelin is especially touching, often revealing Emma’s pain through her eyes.

Ed Vincent – Oak Park Journal
Oak Park Festival Theatre’s production of Harold Pinter’s “Betrayal” with direction by Kevin Christopher Fox is a wonderful creation of drama with superb acting and tremendous minimalist sets.
We were delighted by all of the performers, but captivated by the charming Kathy Logelin as Emma.

Nobel Prize, Tony, and Olivier Award winner Harold Pinter is one of the most celebrated and influential playwrights in the English language. His masterpiece, Betrayal, is a dangerous, funny, sexy, and deeply personal journey backward – from the end to the beginning – of a seven year affair between Jerry and Emma, the wife of Jerry’s best friend. The play’s unique structure, with Pinter’s trademark economy of language and silence, sets the stage for a thrilling meditation on marriage, passion, trust, and friendship. Directed by Kevin Chritopher Fox, director of Festival Theatre’s 2009 Jeff-Recommended Arms and the Man.
