Anne-Marie steals the show as a fearsome lady in red and Piers Morgan's son bounces back from a real-life drama: ROBERT GORE-LANGTON reviews The Little Foxes The Little Foxes (Young Vic).
Piers Morgan's son Stanley keeled over in a dead faint, but still carried on after an interruption to proceedings.
The author of this 1939 play (also a famous film with Bette Davis) is the American writer Lillian Hellman – an unrepentant Stalinist with a famous disregard for facts (Mary McCarthy once said of Hellmann that ‘every word she writes is a lie, including “and” and “the”’).
The tyro actor – Stanley Morgan (Piers’s son) – was back on stage.
It’s a one-note anti-capitalist play about a family of jackals] The LIttle Foxes comes across as epic and often magnificent.
