"In only 90 minutes, we meet five generations of family members, several sets of children and parents, multiple iterations of characters at different ages, and a veritable army of boyfriends and girlfriends, all acted by the ensemble of eight. Not an easy feat for any acting company, but Winding Road nails it."

"...a fine ensemble feeling for 90 nonstop minutes of challenging emotions both loving and chaotic. ...These lives are timeless. Their significant events are romantic courtship, heated arguments, selfish children, bitter divorces, wishes for a second chance... all that, but never in that order."

"The rich don't have to be subtle in Winding Road Theater's splendid production of Lillian Hellman's The Little Foxes. The rich seek to consume the wealth of others while they hoard their own, and during this very polarizing time in America, this story seems more relevant than ever."

"This play is astoundingly disturbing. In-your-face-greed always is. And while "The Little Foxes" is 80 years old, Hellman's play resonates loudly."
