About the Show

Harold Pinter's classic play, which tells the story of an extra-marital affair in reverse order, comes to Broadway starring Tom Hiddleston ('The Avengers'), Zawe Ashton ('Velvet Buzzsaw'), and Charlie Cox ('Daredevil').

From the show:

Betrayal, the sold-out London hit starring Tom Hiddleston, Zawe Ashton, and Charlie Cox comes to Broadway for a strictly limited engagement.

Direct from a standing-room-only hit run in London, Betrayal is the story of an illicit affair that unfolds in reverse—from the end of a marriage to the first forbidden spark. Starring Golden Globe and Olivier Award winner Tom Hiddleston (The Avengers), Zawe Ashton (Velvet Buzzsaw) and Charlie Cox (Daredevil) in their Broadway debuts, this stunning production features the daring vision of one of the UK’s most acclaimed directors.

Great acting, Great writing, Absorbing

See it if you want to see a well done production of Betrayal.

Don't see it if you want a good audience, since the actors are so famous, there are a lot of people there only for that.

Great staging, Intense, Great acting, Absorbing

See it if you like Pinter, and you like intense relationship stories

Don't see it if you don't like wordy plays with no traditional set changes, you prefer more action or musicals

Intelligent, Great acting, Absorbing

See it if Great acting, interesting idea, powerful performances from all actors, intense, keeps your interest more for its acting than its content

Don't see it if you require action. Its slow moving but delivery is so subtle & deliberate it does keep your interest. would have preferred more substance

Great acting, Resonant

See it if Great acting, mannered British humor, repressed desire, and a look at a turbulent love affair. Some good moments of suspense and passion.

Don't see it if About as well staged as you'll see this late Pinter. Not my favorite work, it's self-contained and dialog-driven, somewhat static.

Resonant, Great acting

See it if Can one person fulfill all your needs?This play explores this question.An absorbing study of marriage, deception, & human nature. Powerful!

Don't see it if if you are expecting a comedy, or something light or without a substance. Read more

Intense, Ambitious, Great acting, Entertaining, Absorbing

See it if you like great acting and are interested in an exploration of relationships, integrity and commitment with fierce attention to the text.

Don't see it if you like elaborate staging and sets and feel a need to identify or like any of the lead characters - I found them all to be unpleasant.

Overrated, Great staging, Disappointing, Dated, Banal

See it if you want to see the most aesthetically pleasing Broadway production: stark and elegant, it feels like a modern art installation

Don't see it if you need lots and lots to be entertained, this is severely minimalist production. Read more

Slow, Great acting

See it if Slow emerging adult play on betrayal of love, relationships, and friendships. Want to see Loki / Dare Devil.

Don't see it if Less relatable if you're not in long term relationship / temptation to stray. Memory plays aren't your thing. Read more
