Betrayal, starring Tom Hiddleston, Charlie Cox & Zawe Ashton, begins performances on Broadway

The Broadway transfer of Betrayal is set for an official opening at the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre on September 5, 2019.

Golden Globe and Olivier Award winner Tom Hiddleston and his co-stars Charlie Cox and Zawe Ashton all make their Broadway debuts tonight as the critically acclaimed London production of the Harold Pinter classic Betrayal, directed by Olivier Award winner Jamie Lloyd, begins performances at the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre. The production is scheduled to run through December 8, 2019, with an official opening set for September 5.

Synopsis: "With poetic precision, rich humor, and an extraordinary emotional force, Betrayal charts a compelling seven-year romance, thrillingly captured in reverse chronological order, and explores the complexities of the human heart."

Hiddleston, Cox, and Ashton are reprising their respective roles of Robert, Jerry and Emma from the West End revival, which played an extended, sold-out run at the Harold Pinter Theatre from March 5 through June 8, 2019, and broke all box office records.

Directed Jamie Lloyd previously commented: "Watching this remarkable cast bring new life to Harold Pinter's greatest work has been one of the most gratifying and exciting experiences of my life in the theater. I am thrilled that American audiences will have the chance to witness their stunning performances."

The Broadway creative team also features scenic & costume design by Soutra Gilmour, lighting design by Jon Clark, and sound design & original music by Ben and Max Ringham.
