The Little Foxes at Arena Stage

The Little Foxes

Arena Stage
1101 Sixth Street, SW Washington

There are people who eat and there are those who get eaten. First in line to be served is Regina Giddens, clawing her way to wealth with her equally calculating brothers. When their plan to control the local cotton mill is thwarted, they'll turn to ever more devious schemes, even as it further divides their family. Starring Emmy winner Marg Helgenberger (CSI: Crime Scene Investigation), Lillian Hellman's classic tale of greed, betrayal and all the sordid ties that bind takes sibling rivalry to unimaginable heights and reveals how far a ruthless family can bend the rules before they break each other.

"...Still, on the evidence of Arena's production, with a cast that also includes Jack Willis, Edward Gero, Kim James Bey and Megan Graves - all in splendid form - "Foxes" is a durable period drama that flowers with the kind of lavish handling it receives here."

"...Filled with exceptional performances, The Little Foxes is the first of the Arena’s Lillian Hellman Festival in honoring not only the playwright, but also the theater’s late co-founder Zelda Fichandler. It is also a fitting follow-up to last year’s city-wide Women’s Voices Theater Festival. The Little Foxes reminds us Hellman’s piercing intelligence and her contributions that to the American stage. Later this season, we’ll delve further into her work with the Arena’s upcoming Watch on the Rhine."

"...Foxes has always been a star vehicle for the actor playing Regina, and here Marg Helgenberger does an admirable job of bringing some real personality to a character who begs to be played large and lavishly entitled. She is a familiar type — not least because she has inspired so many derivations — and making her unique is the challenge here. Helgenberger certainly has the charisma for this alpha woman, but her rather no-nonsense edge gives Regina more the feel of a well-heeled frontierswoman than a Southern Belle, despite a bold accent (that occasionally borders on OTT). Though it gives her an interesting modernity and avoids caricature, it doesn’t quite sing with the required authenticity."

"...Shakespeare wrote “what’s past is prologue,” but the strong production of ‘The Little Foxes,’ which opened Thursday night at Arena Stage’s Kreeger Theater demonstrates how clearly Lillian Hellman’s 1939 play resonates today."

"...Keating fully disappears in the role of Birdie, a consummate depiction of a woman on the edge. A burst of nervous energy, every high and low is broadcast on her face, however fleeting or false. It’s a touching portrayal of hopelessness."
