GLBT The Show is an original piece of theatre which uses Shakespeare's The Seven Ages of Man speech (As You Like It) as a spring board to explore a gay man's journey through life using excerpts from world literature, music, current affairs, film and tv, creating an entertaining and thought provoking evening.
GLBT The Show is a reading in English with Italian subtitles and was conceived for Europride 2011, raising awareness of poignant issues that are still affecting gay rights in the world today.

About the Play
“Betrayal is an exquisite play, brilliantly simple in form and courageous
in its search for poetry that turns banality into a melancholy beauty. Behind its smooth pastel surface is a haunting vision of a man as a creature trapped in an orbit of betrayal that sends him circling around the ideal without ever reaching it”. Jack Kroll, Newsweek
This quintessentially British playwright has never written anything simpler, sadder or funnier than Betrayal, and is at his most lethally ironic in this intimate study of sexual infidelity and betrayal. This text gives the audience a unique opportunity to experience this universally acclaimed modern classic in its original form. The play deals with an affair that entangles a married couple, Emma and Robert, and their close friend Jerry (who is also married). The complexity of the relationships is only revealed through short, simple dialogue in scenes that progress backwards, beginning with the story nearing its end, thereby using reverse chronology in a particularly innovative way.
 Harold Pinter was born in London in 1930 and died on Christmas Eve, 2008. He was married to Antonia Fraser. He wrote twenty-nine plays including The Birthday Party, The Caretaker, The Homecoming, and Betrayal, twenty-one screen plays including The Servant, The Go-Between, The French Lieutenant's Woman and Sleuth, and directed twenty-seven theatre productions, including James Joyce's Exiles, David Mamet's Oleanna, seven plays by Simon Gray and many of his own plays including his last, Celebration, paired with his first, The Room and The Almeida Theatre, London in Spring 2000.
In 2005 he received the Nobel Prize for Literature. Other awards include the Companion of Honor for services to Literature, the Legion D'Honneur, the Lawrence Olivier Award and the Moliere D'Honneur for lifetime achievement. In 1999 he was made a Companion of Literature by the Royal Society of Literature. He received honorary degrees from eighteen universities.
