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.

Funny, Romantic, Slow, Great acting, Confusing

See it if you like family dramas

Don't see it if you hate Pinter, or reverse storytelling

Slow, Edgy, Banal

See it if You can enjoy a simple set, a story line that sometimes gets boring or confusing but is done in an original way

Don't see it if You want to be on the edge of your seat. I found it disappointing

See it if you like Pinter.

Don't see it if if you want something lively. Read more

Slow, Clever

See it if You want to see a classic play with a good cast.

Don't see it if You cannot tolerate plays with no intermissions, slow tedious dialog and long pregnant pauses. Play starts at the end and moves backwards.

Disappointing, Slow, Great acting

See it if you want to see great acting from the 3 main leads. The play is only 90 minutes, but is slow and somewhat disappointing.

Don't see it if you're expecting something mind-blowing. The staging is minimal but the actors are really the best thing about the play.

Intelligent, Intense, Great staging, Great acting, Absorbing

See it if You want to see an incredible staging of this Pinter play with a cast of extraordinary actors. Hiddleston & Cox are knockouts!

Don't see it if You aren’t willing to be completely silent and in the moment. Every word is meant to be completely taken by. The cast demands attention.

Disappointing, Great acting, Slow, Overrated

See it if You are a fan of Tom Hiddleston and would love to see him live on stage regardless of what he is playing

Don't see it if The play is slow, the story is cliche. If you want something exciting, it’s not for you.

Dated, Disappointing, Overrated, Great staging, Great acting

See it if You love the Avengers or die hard Pinter

Don't see it if Im not really sure what this play speaks to in this moment and found it fine
