The Traitors – Acts of Betrayal

The Traitors is the undisputed phenomenon of British television.

The Traitors – Acts of Betrayal takes the premise of the television game The Traitors to the stage of the Gillian Lynne Theatre, on Drury Lane in London's West End. The production is a new cycle of plays built around one question: how the game would have unfolded if different players had been chosen as the Traitors. Each play starts from the same point but reaches a different ending, so characters eliminated early in one version can prevail in another.

Each play works as a complete drama in its own right, and together they examine paranoia, betrayal and shifting alliances when people are under pressure. The text is by John Finnemore, and the production is directed by Robert Hastie, whose credits include Standing at the Sky's Edge and Operation Mincemeat. Nick Mohammed plays The Host.

A different play is staged on each weekday, while on Saturdays the audience votes on which version will be performed that day. The production is produced by Studio Lambert, the makers of The Traitors UK, together with Neal Street Productions.
