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).

FEATURED REVIEWS FOR The Little Foxes
'The Little Foxes' review — Anne-Marie Duff and Eleanor Worthington-Cox give star turns in Lillian Hellman's seething family drama
6 / 10
Everyone is miserable in this house, where children become pawns in their parents’ gross games to keep wealth in the family, and women are told a frown never got them anywhere. Duff’s Regina and Worthington-Cox’s Alexandra share a painful final scene, yet there’s no real sense of redemption, which makes this a hard watch. Their performances, though, are tip-top.
Anne-Marie Duff is fascinatingly nasty in Lyndsey Turner’s uneven Little Foxes
5 / 10
And Regina is such a monster in this production that it’s hard to feel any kind of surprise or sympathy as she manipulates and is manipulated in turn. Like Hellman’s best-known play The Children’s Hour, Little Foxes is a compelling study of female nastiness, and the way that women become hard as polished fingernails under the brutal pressures of the patriarchy and capitalism. It’s undeniably powerful. Still, this production’s uneven performances and dour staging don’t make a particularly seductive case for revisiting it.

Review: THE LITTLE FOXES, Young Vic
by Alexander Cohen - December 12, 2024
by Alexander Cohen - December 12, 2024
We love watching a rich family crumble on stage. From Oedipus and his mother to Chekhov’s families fractured by existential angst, to Ibsen’s split by socio-politics paradigm shifts. The Hubbards, the family of former plantation owners in Lilian Hellman’s The Little Foxes, could be the spiritual successor of them all
