A. D. Players
A. D. Players to Present The Little Foxes
Celebrated as a Classic, Story Mirrors Today's Headlines
Houston, TX: Thrilling and mesmerizing to the end, The Little Foxes takes over the A. D. Players MainStage April 23
through May 30.
The Little Foxes, a suspenseful portrayal of a family divided by ruthlessness and personal quests for power and
wealth, comes eerily close to the Wall Street ethics of our day. The Hubbards, a Southern family, deceive and
manipulate each other in order to gain an upper hand in a business deal that could earn them millions.
A. D. Players brings the characters to vivid life in this powerful story of love, hate, betrayal, and murder in an
early 20th century society that mirrors our own.
Expertly written by Lillian Hellman, The Little Foxes premiered in 1939 and was famously adapted into a film
starring Bette Davis in 1941, which was nominated for nine Academy Awards. Proving its power to speak to
modern audiences, The Little Foxes has been revived several times on Broadway; both the 1981 and 1997
productions were nominated for Tony awards.
