The new play “In A Forest, Dark and Deep” by Neil LaBute is described as ‘During a stormy night, a brother and sister peel back the many layers of truth surrounding their lives’.

LaBute said the play touched on issues including class, the struggle between male and female, the “average dysfunction” of families and “the betrayal of truth and how difficult it is for some people to live without the mask of lies.”

Fox, who makes his UK stage debut in the play, is best known for his roles in long-running US television series Party Of Five and Lost. Though he has previously appeared on stage in Los Angeles and, at the beginning of his career, in New York, this is a relatively rare stage outing for the actor, who estimated he had filmed around 275 hours of television over his two six-year stints in Party Of Five and Lost.

May Matthew Fox’s debut in London come to fruition.
