Golden Globe, Olivier, and Evening Standard Award winner Tom Hiddleston stars in Jamie Lloyd’s production of Harold Pinter's Betrayal, which opens March 13 as part of the Pinter at the Pinter season. Hiddleston, who returns to the London stage following his acclaimed Hamlet directed by Kenneth Branagh and his Evening Standard Award-winning performance in Coriolanus at the Donmar Warehouse in 2014, is joined by Charlie Cox (Incognito, Netflix's Daredevil) and Zawe Ashton (The Maids, Netflix's Velvet Buzzsaw).
Betrayal, which charts a compelling seven-year romance, captured in reverse chronological order, was first produced by the National Theatre in 1978. The original cast featured Pinter at the Pinter company members Penelope Wilton and Michael Gambon.
Pinter at the Pinter is the unprecedented season of Harold Pinter’s work, marking ten years since the Nobel Prize winner’s death.
The musical, a reinvention of Tim Burton’s cult classic film Edward Scissorhands, uses the pop music of Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga, Alanis Morissette, and more.
