"You never know quite where you are with Neil LaBute... and in this highly entertaining, 100-minute two-hander he pulls the rug from under our feet so often that we end up feeling breathless," says The Guardian (London) of LaBute's In a Forest, Dark and Deep. Starring Aretta Baumgartner and Bryan Brendle and directed by Kara Cantrell, this utterly absorbing production takes its time exploring what is true, what is not, and the lies we tell ourselves to get by.
Siblings Bobby and Betty meet at her cottage in the woods to clear out the belongings of a previous tenant. But in this cabin of lies, nothing is as it seems and the truth obstinately refuses to be packed away. What is Betty hiding? And does Bobby really want to find out?
In a Forest, Dark and Deep is a dark journey into sibling rivalry that escalates into a psychological thriller bursting with savage conflict.
