Theatre: First Call

IT IS an impressive feat when a familiar story is refreshingly told and Harold Pinter's drama about the much-examined triangular relationship shows that he is the king of technique. Pinter's Betrayal depicts a seven-year affair between Jerry, a literary agent, and Emma, the wife of Jerry's best friend, Robert. Imogen Stubbs will play Emma, Douglas Hodge, Jerry and Anthony Calf, Robert, under Trevor Nunn's direction.
