“Riol? What are you doing here?” “I was in the area an’ thought you would appreciate a surprise visit.” “Oh, you scallywag. If my superior finds us, I’m blaming you.” “I wouldn’t have it any other way love.”

A HAMPSTEAD THEATRE WORLD PREMIERE

THE FOREST

BY FLORIAN ZELLER TRANSLATED BY CHRISTOPHER HAMPTON DIRECTED BY JONATHAN KENT

"He can’t help himself and he plunges into the forest…until the moment it dawns on him: night has fallen and he is completely lost."

Details

At this turning-point of his life, Pierre finds himself tormented by the conflicting demands of family, career and sexual desire. His struggle to resolve this crisis, without fracturing his marriage or compromising his moral code, is explored in unsettling ways in the World Premiere of Florian Zeller’s uncompromising and mysterious play. It is translated, as ever, by Christopher Hampton and directed by Jonathan Kent, who re-unites with Zeller after his production of The Height of the Storm, which was critically acclaimed in London and on Broadway.

“I’m telling you a story, if that’s all right by you. Apparently you’ve no objection to telling stories yourself. Am I right?”

Florian Zeller’s play The Father (Wyndham’s) has the status of a modern classic and the screen adaptation won the 2021 Academy Award for Zeller and Christopher Hampton. His recent plays in London include The Son (Duke of York’s), The Height of the Storm (Wyndham’s), The Mother (Kiln), The Truth (Wyndham’s) and The Lie (Menier).

Multiple-award winning playwright and screenwriter Christopher Hampton won an Academy Award for his screen adaptation of his play Les Liaisons Dangereuses (as Dangerous Liaisons). He was also nominated for adapting Ian McEwan’s novel Atonement in 2007. Hampton has previously translated Zeller’s The Father, The Mother and The Truth.

Jonathan Kent returns to Hampstead Theatre, having previously directed Good People (2014) and The Slaves of Solitude (2017). Kent’s recent credits include Talking Heads (BBC and The Bridge), The Height of the Storm (Wyndham’s), A German Life (The Bridge), Long Day’s Journey into Night (Broadway) and Peter Gynt (National).

The cast features Millie Brady (Roadkill, BBC One), Silas Carson (Phantom Thread, Universal Pictures), Angel Coulby (Merlin, BBC One), Finbar Lynch (Indecent, Menier Chocolate Factory), Paul McGann (Withnail and I, HandMade Films), Gina McKee (Bodyguard, BBC One), Sakuntala Ramanee (Romeo and Juliet, RSC), Toby Stephens (Lost in Space, Netflix) and Eddie Toll (Stephen, ITV).

I beat The Forrest last night and for those of you that don’t know the ending is unsettling and terrifying and I was like, lying in bed going ‘oh shit I’m not gonna sleep tonight’ and then in a last ditch effort I started thinking about WhiteRose to get my mind off it and like, started imagining them at the Atlas ball and like holy shit it was pretty much a protective seal because I immediately started feeling better and completely lost every ounce of paranoia and anxiety from finishing The Forrest to the point where briefly thinking about it didn’t scare me at all

thank you for your protection from nightmares you funky lesbians
