The play stars Tom Hiddleston (Robert), Charlie Cox (Jerry) and Zawe Ashton (Emma) in Pinter’s story of a years-long affair, based on his own extramarital relationship with Joan Bakewell.

It runs at the Harold Pinter Theatre through June 1. While mostly sold out, there are a few tickets left, and each week on Monday, £15 tickets for the following week will be released to Under-30, those on Job Seekers Allowance, and key workers.

You can also enter to win a chance to see the play, along with having drinks with Tom – and supporting Comic Relief – on May 27.

Rehearsals for the Jamie Lloyd Co production of Betrayal, which opens March 5th, just got under way last week, and now the Evening Standard has some behind-the-scenes rehearsal pics.

And they’re fantastic.

Calling it Tom Hiddleston’s ‘much anticipated return to the stage’, the pictures feature Tom as Robert, Zawe Ashton as Emma, and Charlie Cox as Jerry, in what is considered Pinter’s masterpiece — as well as a roman à clef about his own affair with Joan Bakewell.
