Description
'Everyone calls me Mum now, or Mummy. I had a name before. Where did that go?' Inspired by true events, Katie Guicciardi's brutally honest new drama is A Doll's House for the 21st Century. Exploring our complex relationship with "help" – our desire to give it and our need to seek it for ourselves – in an increasingly isolating society, Fox is 'a really poignant and insightful piece' (ThreeWeeks, Top Picks). This 'must-see' (Feminist Fringe) play, is 'a compassionate exploration of contemporary problems' (List). Directed by Lisa Cagnacci (Artistic Associate, Stephen Joseph Theatre). @foxplayUkPlease note that while all media gallery content is provided by verified members of the event, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society does not review or approve this content before it is posted.

Still thinking about the issues that were explored, the honesty of the writing and the emotional sucker punch of an ending in Katie Guicciardi's first-time fringe show 'Fox'. This is a show to catch before the end of the festival.

Extremely well written and an excellent performance by the actor/writer,Katie Guicciardi.
A subject a lot of people can relate to!
I thoroughly enjoyed the play,best thing I’ve seen at the Fringe this year!

Fox (***)
A new mother must deal with post partem depression, a demanding baby, and a homeless man living outside her door front door. We feel her increasing desperation as her depression prevents her from seeking help from her husband, friends, and society. As she acts as a voyeur of the life of the homeless man society’s efforts to help him make her isolation all the more stark.
This was the 48th most enjoyable of the 113 Fringe shows I have seen so far this year. You may see my other three-sentence reviews, in order from most enjoyable to worst, at my non-commercial website: www.fringefan.com.

Absolutely fantastic show. Ingeniously written and fabulously acted. I've never written a review before but this one compelled me to due to the sheer quality of script and acting. Would highly recommend to anyone. It's not comedy but it's still a fantastic spend of time while at the Fringe

Congratulations on your first show!! Brilliant! So fun, and touching / poignant, and everything in between. Not sure if non-parents would enjoy it as much, but I did.

Highly recommend. Very well acted. One of the better dramatic pieces I’ve seen in years at the fringe.
Hope to see more from this company.

An absolutely brilliant piece of work.
So cleverly written.The connection between the subjects is beyond brilliant.
The performance by the young lady ,too. Was beyond brilliant.
What fascinates me, I wonder on the response/reaction from a very middle class audience, to being encouraged to help/give to, the homeless

Thought-provoking piece on the tricky subject of post-natal depression which also takes onboard gentrification and guilt - anchored by the writer's nuanced & engaging performance, it's 'A Doll's House' for the 21st century.

Saw this play in London. The subject of the play is very deep and fascinating.
The solo performance by Katie really brought the emotions and the nuances around the play to light. Very glad i saw it.

Not one to miss, Katie Guicciardi’s solo female performance in Fox is the perfect combination of a gripping narrative, poignant use of visual props and just the right amount of humour for such a serious and sensitive subject matter.
