A
Broadway revival of Harold Pinter's play Betrayal starring Rachel Weisz
and Daniel Craig has taken $17.5m (£10.6m) in just 14 weeks, reports
have said.
The play, which opened on 1 October, received mixed reviews
from critics but audiences flocked to see the married actors live on
stage.Top price tickets for the show, which closed on 5 January, went for between $275 (£167) and $499 (£304).
It was 2013's second biggest Broadway hit,
The biggest was the late Nora Ephron's play, Lucky Guy, starring Tom Hanks, which grossed just under $23m (£14m) - it also had a limited run but played for four weeks longer than Betrayal in a theatre that had 160 more seats.
The Ethel Barrymore theatre, where Betrayal ran, had 1,096 seats.
Directed by multiple Tony award winner Mike Nichols, the play, about a wife who has an affair with her husband's best friend, also starred Rafe Spall.
