The revival of ‘Betrayal’ at the Harold Pinter Theatre had its first preview on Tuesday, March 5, and now the first official photos have been released.

The photos were released in the Evening Standard, as well as on photographer Marc Brenner’s Instagram.

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.

Tickets are available at the Ambassador Theatre Group website.

Be still my heart — the chance to have post-theatre drinks with Tom?

Yes, you read that correctly.

As part of this year’s Red Nose Day campaign to support Comic Relief, you now have the chance for tickets to Betrayal. Sounds great, right?

But wait, there’s more! After the show, you’ll be treated to post-theatre drinks and nibbles with the man himself.

Yes. This is not a drill.

According to the Comic Relief web page:


Your chance to hang out with Tom Hiddleston in the flesh *faints* – and tickets to watch his incredible performance in the sold out West End hit play, Betrayal.

Tom Hiddleston would like to invite you to the sold-out production of Betrayal by Harold Pinter on the 27 May. You’ll be met at the theatre, treated like a star, and taken to the exclusive Ambassador Lounge for pre-show drinks. You’ll then be given two precious house seats to watch one of the most anticipated shows of the year. When the show is over, you’ll join the star of the show, Golden Globe and Olivier Award winner, Tom Hiddleston for drinks and snacks in the bar. The hottest ticket in town – followed by some private time with the star of the show. You will be hard pushed to find a more sensational night out in London’s glittering West End.

And with that, the countdown’s on. Just 28 days until Betrayal opens. Rehearsals started yesterday, and we should be getting some behind the scenes photos soon.

Not bad for only two days of sales…

Yikes! When Tom Hiddleston teased a mysterious trailer on Twitter this month, the world went a little gaga. But the rumours were true: he is returning to the stage to star in Harold Pinter’s play Betrayal. It’s a chance to see one of our top actors and a Hollywood A-lister being directed by one of our best directors in one of our best playwright’s plays. What’s not to like?
