The Traitors - Acts of Betrayal description
The Traitors is the undisputed phenomenon of British television. Next year, the game leaves the Highlands for the West End and reinvents itself in the process. The Traitors - Acts of Betrayal is a new cycle of five plays that does something television cannot.
It takes the show’s premise and answers the question: who would have won if different players had been chosen to be the Traitors?
From Monday to Friday, the story begins identically but ends five different ways. Characters banished or murdered early in one version emerge victorious in another. Each play stands alone as a complete drama. Together, they form an unprecedented portrait of who people are under pressure, and the way their true colours show in the end.
Then, on Saturdays, the audience takes control as they decide who will wear the cloak. Their choice determines in real-time which version will be played out during that performance.
Written by multi-award-winning John Finnemore (Cabin Pressure), and directed by Robert Hastie, whose credits include the Olivier Award-winning Standing at the Sky's Edge and the West End hit Operation Mincemeat, The Traitors - Acts of Betrayal is produced by makers of The Traitors UK, Studio Lambert, and Neal Street Productions, two multi-award winning teams behind multiple TV, film and theatre productions.
Nick Mohammed (Slow Horses, Ted Lasso, Show Pony), a finalist in the first series of The Celebrity Traitors, will play the role of The Host.
A world of paranoia, betrayal and shifting alliances, The Traitors - Acts of Betrayal is a dramatic exploration of the sliding doors of fate, where nothing is certain, and no one is safe.
