The Little Foxes West End Tickets, News, Info & More
There are people who eat the earth and eat all the people on it. Then there are people who stand around and watch them eat it.
After a lifetime spent watching her brothers grow rich, Regina Hubbard has had enough of standing around. When a businessman offers the family the prospect of untold wealth and power, a sequence of events unfolds that sets brother against brother, father against son and Regina against the whole pack of them.
A story of greed, ambition and a family on the edge, Lillian Hellman’s The Little Foxes receives a savage new staging by Olivier Award-winning director Lyndsey Turner (The Witches, The Crucible).

The Little Foxes - West End Cast
FEATURED REVIEWS FOR The Little Foxes
Review: THE LITTLE FOXES, Young Vic
6 / 10
The cast is excellent, helmed by an ice-cold Anne Marie Duff, swaying like a prowling boxer ready for another round. Mark Bonnar's Ben is as graceful as he is evasive, almost balletic despite his razor-toothed cruelty. Steffan Rhodri's Oscar is perfectly tuned as the nebbish middle child Oscar trampled on by his pugnacious siblings. But there isn’t much theatrical glue to hold the ensemble and the wider ideas together. It's a case of not being more than the sum of its parts, even if those parts are well constructed and polished.
The Little Foxes review — barely one step away from an overcooked melodrama
5 / 10
A steely-eyed Anne-Marie Duff drips venom as Regina. Steffan Rhodri is persuasive as the charmless Oscar, whose main pastime, apart from dreaming of riches, is bullying his highly strung wife, Birdie, a member of a grand plantation family. Anna Madeley’s character, a sort of proto-Blanche DuBois is, in fact, the most interesting of all of them; it’s just a pity we don’t see more of her. In the end, however, she, like the rest of the cast, is ground down by the gears of the clockwork plot.
