BETRAYAL with Kristin Scott Thomas Coming to Broadway?

According to a recent article in the NY Times, London-based producer Sonia Friedman, revealed that she is currently looking at the possibility of bringing the West End revival of Harold Pinter's BETRAYAL to Broadway. Set to close in London on August 20, the transfer would bring along current star Kristin Scott Thomas.

Scott Thomas gained international recognition in the 1990s for her roles in Bitter Moon, Four Weddings and a Funeral and The English Patient. In 2011, Scott Thomas will star in the upcoming film Bel Ami as another love interest of George Duroy (played by Robert Pattinson). Scott Thomas is currently starring as Emma in Harold Pinter's Betrayal at the Comedy Theatre in London's West End.

Betrayal is a play written by Harold Pinter in 1978. Critically regarded as one of the English playwright's major dramatic works, it features his characteristically economical dialogue, characters' hidden emotions and veiled motivations, and their self-absorbed competitive one-upmanship, face-saving, dishonesty, and (self-)deceptions. A 2000 Broadway revival was staged at the American Airlines Theatre with Juliette Binoche, Liev Schreiber, and John Slattery.
