BETRAYAL Box Office Gets Head Start, Opening Today for One Week Only

Due to overwhelming demand for "this season's box office champ" (New York Post), the Barrymore Theatre box office (243 West 47th Street) will open early, for one week only, today, July 29 at 10:00 am through Sunday, August 4 at 6:00 pm, for tickets to Harold Pinter's Betrayal, starring Daniel Craig, Rachel Weisz, and Rafe Spall, and directed by ten-time Tony Award-winner Mike Nichols.

The Barrymore box office had been originally scheduled to open on September 3, but based on advance ticket sales, the producers of Betrayal determined that the production could be sold out by that point. This special one week early on-sale will ensure that loyal theatergoers who wish to purchase their tickets at the box office will have the ability to do so via their preferred method.

BETRAYAL will begin performances on Tuesday, October 1 at the Barrymore Theatre (243 West 47th Street). Opening night is Sunday, October 27. Betrayal is a strictly limited engagement, running 14 weeks only, through January 5, 2014.

BETRAYAL originally premiered at London's National Theatre in 1978 and was immediately hailed as one of Pinter's masterworks, winning the 1979 Olivier Award for Best New Play. Emma (Rachel Weisz) is married to Robert (Daniel Craig), a publisher, but she has long had an affair with Jerry (Rafe Spall), a literary agent and Robert's best friend; as, in a brilliant device, time is regained, so the full complexity of their relationships comes to light.
