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


A young actor keeled over in a dead faint. The star, Anne-Marie Duff, looked on concerned, helpless. Is there a doctor in the house? There was, thankfully.

In one cruel moment, Regina’s invalid husband (John Light) expires due to her icy inaction – a hammy scene that you would need a heart of stone not to laugh at. There are fine performances from Ukweli Roach and Pearl Chanda as Brick’s older brother Gooper and his ghastly wife Mae, parents of the ‘no-neck monsters’, Maggie’s term for the shrieking kiddies she wants to throttle. Leigh, under new revival director Sarah Tipple, makes Pirates pretty irresistible because he can entertain without changing things, showing that Gilbert’s wit, when properly staged, still works.
