Betrayal
BETRAYAL The American university in Cairo Performing and Visual Arts opened its 1998 Spring Season on February 13th in Wallace Theater on campus with Harold Pinter's play, Betrayal. This play was directed by Eric Grischkat, and the costume design was made by Timaree Mc Cormick. AUC students have strongly participated in the designing, lighting, setting, directing, and in acting. These students were Noha Farouk, Shereef Bishay, Karim Bishay, Ramsi Lehner, and Alaa Shalaby. Betrayal is play that tell the story of two very close friends, Robert, and Jerry. Both of them were married and had children. Both families loved, and respected each other. However, this did not last long because betrayals took place. This play includes eight betrayals; therefore, one can obviously see how well fit the title is to the main theme of the play . In the first place, Emma resorted to betraying her husband because she did not find true love with him so she thought she could find it with Jerry . However, she failed this time too and so she tried Casey. Robert was not the right person for Emma as he was so cold. There is nothing that moves him even when he knew that Emma was betraying him ,
However, she had good skills in moving and speaking. the play began in the year 1977 and ended in 1968 ). Its actions move from the latter to the former;( i. Timaree's choise of colors had certain significance . Emma, Noha Farouk, is a good actor but l had the feeling that she was over acting . Although the space was limited, she managed to overcome this problem. The lighting, by Alaa Shalaby, was so important to the actions in the play. He gave the impression that he is so truthful and that he was really angry when he knew that his best friend Robert knew about his relationship with Emma. The Wallace Theater is a proscenium theater with low ceiling and small stage which is an obstacle to the director but he managed to solve this problem with the help of the set designer. I agree with him because if it moved normally from the oldest to the latest it would not have been that interesting . He knew when to blacken the stage and when to focus the light on one character . To sum up, I think that the production of Betrayal was saved by director Eric Grischkat's skillful staging. he was only concerned with whether Ned was his son or not.
