The Little Foxes (Margaret Leighton)

The historic 1967 Broadway revival of Lillian Hellman’s 'The Little Foxes' turned the stage of the Vivian Beaumont Theater into an absolute critical juggernaut under the banner of the Repertory Theater of Lincoln Center. Conceived under the precise naturalistic blueprints of legendary cinematic auteur Mike Nichols, this production focused with raw emotional clarity on the toxic familial rot and capitalistic betrayals of the Hubbard family. The star-studded blockbuster staging achieved permanent immortality due to its cast, starring British stage royalty Margaret Leighton in a towering performance as Birdie Hubbard alongside Anne Bancroft.
