Here are a few audio clips from some of Betrayed’s many interview conversations
Ben Miles (Robert in the 2011 Comedy Theatre production) recalls describing Robert’s character to director Ian Rickson.
Designer Es Devlin (who designed the 1998 National Theatre production) describes how a preliminary design meeting with director Trevor Nunn and the National’s production staff didn’t quite go to plan…
Gaynor Macfarlane, director of the 2012 BBC radio production of Betrayal, talks about the challenges of staging the play for radio.
John Bloom, who edited the film version of Betrayal, recalls how David Bowie and Simon and Garfunkel were asked to score the movie, and describes what took place when he met producer Sam Spiegel and director David Jones to discuss Bowie’s possible involvement.
Tim Artro-Morris (who, as Artro Morris, played the Waiter in the 1978 National Theatre production) remembers the reaction of Michael Gambon and Daniel Massey whenever he stole the restaurant scene.
The full stories are in the book.
