Olivier Award-winner Iwan Rheon (Game of Thrones’ Ramsay Bolton, Misfits) stars in the West End premiere of Dawn King’s award-winning thriller.

England is in crisis. Fields are flooded, food is scarce and fear of the red beast grips the land.

William Bloor, a foxfinder, arrives at Judith and Samuel Covey’s farm to investigate a suspected fox infestation. The Covey’s harvest has failed to meet their target and the government wants to know why. Trained from childhood, William is fixated on his mission to unearth the animals that must be to blame for the Covey's woes. But as the hunt progresses, William finds more questions than answers…

A darkly comic, spell-binding drama, Foxfinder, directed by Rachel O’Riordan (Olivier Award for Killology - Royal Court), asks how far belief can take you.

“A darkly thrilling new play”  Daily Telegraph

Very thought provoking play. Well acted.

Mohsen

We both loved the show! It felt like we were watching a proper story. The set was clever and beautiful, the story was gripping and the acting was second to none - felt like our own personal story book being told to us.

Richard Turner

Very polished performances. A clever story that makes you think. The actors were extremely professional and convincing. Also a very cosy, intimate, friendly and atmospheric theatre.

Ken MacK

Very good. Kept the interest throughout. Farmers occasional drop into a west country were a bit disconcerting like. but the rest was good.

Jacek Tokar

Awesome experience :) The actress playing the neighbour (Sara?) was amazing

Thammachat Buranaphol

Amazing play, trilling, gripping and a good look to what can happen to our future. Great deal on week day matinee. Always check London Theatre Direst for deals even for last minute first and customer service is lovely too.

Colin Cunningham

The production acting and script were brilliant. A thoroughly enjoyable evening

BillTaylor ChuckAdam

Loved the provocative material, and the acting was superb.

Mark Samuel

Intamate theatre. Very enjoyable.

Disappointed delivery

Great allegory of our times. I was not expecting it to be that way and thoroughly enjoyed it! Very thought provoking and a great cast.

Jo Parker

The set and the way it was used was just beautiful. The costumes were excellent! The acting was all amazing but stand outs were Bryony and Paul. Stunning. Really enjoyed it so thanks!

Richard Berney

a well designed play has a setting (the thesis), then a conflict (antithesis) and a resolution (synthesis). Here you started immediately with the conflict (interrogator), and then flashed back to another conflict (death of child). And then no resolution. Scenery: The world was closing in around the couple, but the scenery was wide open - with the woods imposing on the very large room. Random plot: why did the other couple run away? was this a resolution? Ending: were things resolved? Not in any way! All the issues at the start were still there. The broader environment. Why do workers in factories survive only 3 years? Aren't they also important producers also, and how do they get replaced? by farmers whose farms then go untended. The ecology makes no sense. So what was the point: state control is unjust and fails to reach even its most limited economic goals? That people's minds can be controlled by superstition? ?? ALL IN ALL A STUPID WASTE OF AN EVENING.
