Show Info

By Dexter Flanders
Directed by James Hillier

With Tosin Alabi, Raphel Famotibe, Bayo Gbadamosi, Suzette Llewellyn, and Nemide May

If one kiss had the power to destroy everything, would you risk it?

Foxes follows Daniel, a young black man trying to keep up with his life in London’s Caribbean community while balancing his own goals with his family’s expectations. When his relationship with best friend Leon brings an unexpected change it creates turmoil, bringing a taboo into his family home that has the power to tear the closest and most loving relationships apart.

A deeply moving and complex story of family, community, and sexual identity, Foxes tackles the Black gay experience with tenderness and beautiful depth.

Winner of a Black British Theatre Award and an Offie Award
