Aubrey & Tierney join John Simm in Sheffield Betrayal

Juliet Aubrey and Colin Tierney will join the previously announced John Simm in Harold Pinter's Betrayal which is revived as the climax of Sheffield Crucible's 40th anniversary season.

Directed by Nick Bagnall, the production will feature a return to the Crucible for Life on Mars star John Simm, who played Hamlet there last year, and reunites him with Tierney who played opposite him as Horatio.

Famously played backwards in time, Betrayal traces a seven-year affair between art gallery owner Emma (Aubrey) and literary agent Jerry (Simm), the best friend of her publisher husband Robert (Tierney), from its poignant end to its first illicit kiss.

Betrayal premiered at the National Theatre in 1978, winning the Olivier Award for Best New Play.
