Overview

• Anne-Marie Duff stars as Regina Giddens in Lyndsey Turner’s revival of Lillian Hellman’s 1939 drama 'The Little Foxes' at the Young Vic in London.
• The play explores themes of greed, family dysfunction, and gendered power struggles within a wealthy Southern family at the turn of the 20th century.
• While Duff’s portrayal of Regina is widely praised for its cold precision and moments of vulnerability, critics note the production lacks overall cohesion and emotional resonance.
• The set design by Lizzie Clachan, described as stark and unanchored in time, has drawn criticism for failing to enhance the story’s Southern setting and familial tensions.
• An onstage medical emergency during opening night briefly halted the performance, but the cast resumed seamlessly, with the affected actor receiving an ovation for their resilience.
