All Creatures Great and Small's Anna Madeley lands exciting role with Shetland star
All Creatures Great and Small's Anna Madeley has landed a role in a new revival of Lillian Hellman's play, The Little Foxes, at The Young Vic Theatre – and it sounds incredible.
Bad Sisters star Anne-Marie Duff leads the cast as Regina Hubbard, alongside Shetland's Mark Bonnar as Benjamin Hubbard, Gavin and Stacey's Steffan Rhodri as Oscar Hubbard, and of course Anna, who plays Birdie Hubbard.
Director Lyndsey Turner delivers a "savage new staging" to Hellman's modern classic, which is a story about "greed, ambition and a family on the edge".
The synopsis reads: "There are people who eat the earth and eat all the people on it. Then there are people who stand around and watch them eat it.
"After a lifetime spent watching her brothers grow rich, Regina Hubbard has had enough of standing around. When a businessman offers the family the prospect of untold wealth and power, a sequence of events unfolds that sets brother against brother, father against son and Regina against the whole pack of them."
