Robert Sean Leonard and Helen Hunt play a couple in an extramarital affair in Harold Pinter’s play — director Susan Booth is trying something new with casting.

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.

“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.

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.

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.
