Because simply being an actual ridiculously hot couple isn't enough, Daniel Craig and Oscar winner Rachel Weisz are playing husband and wife on Broadway, in a revival of Harold Pinter's Betrayal. The play will be directed by Mike Nichols.
As Arts Beat reminds us, Betrayal was groundbreaking: "Pinter’s 1978 play explores the frailties of marriage and long-term friendship and the fall-out from an extramarital affair, and is perhaps best known for its innovative structure—many scenes are in reverse chronological order, with the drama starting in 1977 and ending in 1968."
Betrayal was last on Broadway in 2000-2001, with Juliette Binoche, Liev Shreiber and John Slattery. (The 1980production on Broadway had Blythe Danner, Raul Julia and Roy Scheider!) There's also a 1983 film, with Patricia Hodge, Jeremy Irons and Ben Kingsley—Roger Ebert said, "The Betrayal structure strips away all artifice. It shows, heartlessly, that the very capacity for love itself is sometimes based on betraying not only other loved ones, but even ourselves."
