The Little Foxes: A Haunting Examination of Fractured Community

October 16 was Opening Night of The Little Foxes at the Erickson Theatre in Capitol Hill. Directed by Ryan Guzzo Purcell, this fall show is a collaboration between Intiman Theatre and The Feast. The play runs through November 2. Written by Lillian Hellman in 1939, The Little Foxes is set in the early 1900s, and follows a fractured southern family at war with each other over money. With a Gothic sensibility and a satirical, sharp wit, the play feels very contemporary and relevant to reality now, despite approaching a century in age.
