Aadyam Theatre has unveiled their latest play, `Betrayal`, directed by Rachel D’Souza and produced by 3 Parts Company. The theatrical production by the company, a Aditya Birla Group initiative, promises to captivate audiences with a play that is humourous yet heartbreaking, presenting a searingly tender picture of fragile memories, wounded hearts and how easily our grasps over reality can unravel. It will be performed at the Experimental Theatre in the National Centre for Performing Arts (NCPA) from July 14 to July 16. 

Betrayal revolves around two love stories, with forbidden sparks, infidelity, deception and the barrage of complex human emotions. It intricately explores two distinct love stories - that unfold between three characters through a series of meetings and conversations. Starting in 1977, the play unfolds in reverse chronology with lovers Jerry and Emma meeting after a gap of two years. From here, it spirals backwards all the way to 1968 to the first transgression when Jerry, Robert`s closest friend, declares his undying love for Emma, Robert`s wife. Along the way, the audience is drawn into various events in time, when things both said and unsaid create a compelling theatrical experience.
