The triangle is complete for Artistic Director Susan V. Booth's upcoming production of Harold Pinter's Betrayal at Chicago's Goodman Theatre.

As previously reported, Oscar, Emmy, and Golden Globe Award winner Helen Hunt and Tony nominee and Outer Critics Circle Award winner Ian Barford will play, respectively, Emma and Robert. The play begins February 8, 2025, in the Albert Theatre. Performances will continue through March 16.

The duo will be joined by the newly announced Robert Sean Leonard in the role of Jerry. Leonard, a Tony winner for his performance in Invention of Love, made his film debut in Dead Poet’s Society at age 19. He earned a Screen Actors Guild Award nomination for his portrayal of Dr. James Wilson on the Fox medical drama House and was seen in the second season of the HBO series The Gilded Age.

“Robert Sean Leonard is one of the consummate stage actors of our generation, and the opportunity to complete the Betrayal triangle—populated by Helen and Ian already—with an actor of Robert’s caliber just delights me,” said Booth in a statement.

In the Pinter drama, Emma, Robert, and Jerry have a history. As Emma’s marriage to Robert comes to an end, she reconnects with Jerry, her former lover—and her husband’s best friend. The action unspools backward in time, uncovering hidden truths and revealing how little we know about those we think we know so much about.

The design team will be announced at a later date.
