This dreary, plodding and so not funny piece that is being marketed as a musical comedy fails in pretty much every department.

If you were to throw any more heavy-weight theatre talent onto Her Majesty's stage at the moment it may well collapse.

In a Forest Dark and Deep is a two-hander, telling the story of a brother and sister caught up in a terrible and complicated dynamic where they force each other to reveal cherished values and then betray them.

Triffett's characters are complex and believable, suffering from very human ambivalence. They struggle to survive in a gothic surreal world fed by an undercurrent of magic realism, a world which ultimately collapses upon itself.

Under the direction of Baldock this carefully crafted production will make you, undoubtedly, pause and reflect.
