When I was like six, my picture was taken to be used as a backdrop in the set, as a "flashback," I guess, for a production of Betrayal.
If you think "Memento" was clever and original, read this book about a relationship going sour from the end back. It'll make you think twice about the inevitability of conventional story telling.

Fans of Closer will recognize Betrayal as Closer except backwards. However, Betrayal is better and earlier, which really makes Closer equivalent to Betrayal except forwards. No one cheats on one another like the British.

Saw 2000 Bway revival with Liev Schreiber and John Slattery. The beginning of a lot of things. Still one of my all-time favorite scripts, and a very strong play to read.

One of the greatest plays I've ever read. Pinter tears the very skin away from the relationships that we live and die for.
A must read for even the non drama lover.

This "backwards" play inspired a similar Seinfeld episode where the action happened in reverse chronology. A great play, I'd love to do it someday!

Pretty well written. Pinter gets my respect as a composer of complexities, though there wasn't so much pleasure in it.

Stunning. This bare-bones play is exquisite. The options and interpretations are endless. This is very exciting.

Technically brilliant--too cold for my tastes in the end, but much I admired regardless.
