The Young Vic’s somewhat surprising Christmas offering is Lillian Hellman’s 1939 Southern States family drama THE LITTLE FOXES (a title suggested to her by Dorothy Parker purportedly taken from the biblical Song of Solomon). The play first appeared on Broadway with Tallulah Bankhead and later as a film starring Bette Davis.
