‘THE FOX’
Jul 9th-19th 2025
Gryphon Theatre
directed by Annabel Hensley
An adaptation by Dunedin playwright Keith Scott of the classic novella from the great D.H. Lawrence. Rural England 1918. Two women struggle to run a small farm, but they are moderately content. Their comfortable, albeit unfulfilling lives, are disrupted by two visitors. A fox has begun to take their hens and a young soldier arrives. These seemingly unrelated events combine and clash with unexpected consequences. In a fierce battle of multiple wills, human and animal, body and spirit, Lawrence explores the dynamics of power play when instincts are triggered that are as old as life itself. As his story unfolds, we are drawn into an intriguing and challenging place, dualistic and animistic – a collective world that only Lawrence can create, but about which we must draw our individual conclusions.
