Matthew Fox (Lost) and Olivia Williams (An Education) have now opened with In A Forest Dark and Deep, the new psychological thriller at the Vaudeville Theatre, London. Fox, who is making his West End debut, has a history of dealing with darkness in the woods, and Williams was in The Sixth Sense, so there’s more than enough experience to fill the stage.
The trailer for A Forest Dark and Deep is below, but it doesn’t give much away. The only thing that is sure is that it looks like a story of intense sibling rivalry, secrets and lies.
The plot follows Bobby, played by Fox, as he heads out to his sister Betty’s (Williams) cottage out in the country to help her clear it out. However, hidden truths and murky secrets surface on the stormy night to turn the story on its head.
In A Forest Dark & Deep, by director, screenwriter and playwright Neil Labute, opened at the Vaudeville Theatre on the 3rd March 2011 and is set to run through until the 4th June 2011. Hopefully there’ll be no island time machines or seeing of dead people involved.
