This acclaimed new work received its World Premiere production in London at the West End’s Vaudeville Theatre in March 2011 for a limited run, starring Matthew Fox and Olivia Williams.
On a dark and stormy night, all Bobby thought he was doing was helping his sister Betty clear out her cottage in the forest. But in this cabin of lies nothing is as it seems and the truth refuses to be packed away. What is she hiding? Does he really want to find out? In A Forest, Dark And Deep is a dark journey into sibling rivalry escalating into a psychological thriller bursting with savage conflict.
Betty – (late 30’s early 40’s) Subuded, college professor, needy with a sharp edge at times.
Bobby – (30- 40) Tough, blue collar, with bursts of emotional sensitivity.
