The Treachery of Image

Description

Four short plays are yoked together, embodying a theater of juxtaposition—the difference between what we see and what we hear, what we hear and what we think, what we think and what we do. Just as the individual assimilates disparate personal experiences into a unique perspective on the world, The Treachery of Image attempts to discover truth through the juxtaposition of experience, image, and word in works by Samuel Beckett, Caryl Churchill, and Harold Pinter. This series of plays examines how everyday life –image, memory, fear, love, culture, personal history– defines our perception, informs what we believe to be truth, and, ultimately, shapes our behavior.
