Ticket sales soar for Daniel Craig's new Broadway production

Advance ticket sales have been strong for the new Broadway production of Harold Pinter's 'Betrayal', starring Daniel Craig and his wife Rachel Weisz in the leading roles.

In just two weeks, $5m of advance tickets have been snapped up with theatre industry watchers expecting the entire run to be sold out before it even opens on October 1st. Directed by Mike Nichols, the production will run for 14 weeks at the Barrymore theatre.

The first production of the play opened at the National Theatre in 1978 and was a sellout for months. It starred Michael Gambon, Daniel Massey and Penelope Wilton.
