In a Forest, Dark and Deep

By Neil LaBute

Book Overview

In a Forest, Dark and Deep is a gripping, psychologically charged two-hander by acclaimed playwright Neil LaBute.

Set in a remote forest cabin, the play unfolds over a single stormy night as estranged siblings--Bobby, a rugged, working-class man, and Betty, an ambitious college professor--confront buried secrets, shared memories, and the unsettling truths lurking beneath their family history.

As the night progresses, what begins as a seemingly simple task--clearing out Betty's belongings--becomes a volatile emotional battleground.

With biting dialogue and razor-sharp tension, LaBute explores themes of truth, manipulation, and the fine line between love and resentment. In a Forest, Dark and Deep is an unsettling, intimate drama that probes the darkness between people who know each other too well--and not at all.
