Video review: The Little Foxes, Young Vic Theatre

Video transcript:
I'm going to have to plead ignorance because when I booked to see The Little Foxes at the Young Vic, or rather, when my friend booked for us, I hadn't heard the play. I didn't know it was an American classic.
I knew nothing about it, but that meant I went into it with no expectations but I can fully understand why it is a classic.
This is such a tight, tense family drama. It has very meaty dialogue with lots of subtext, lots of politics going on in the family - man0euverings, manipulations and people trying to outmanoeuver each other.
I was gripped pretty much from about 10 minutes in and throughout. I was hooked.
The cast is superb: Anne-Marie Duff, Mark Bonnar, Anna Madeley. John Light and Stefan Rhodri - all superb.
I thought that it was a fascinating, fascinating story. And it's interesting who you root for. I definitely recommend it.
