Vixen
(2022)

In Spring 2022 we toured Vixen to primary schools and venues, an original story by Matt Grinter about a young girl who is turning into a fox.

About the show

Saffi is 11. She lives on an estate with her Dad and she is turning into a fox.

After being scratched by a vixen in the raincoat man’s garden she begins to transform and dreams of running away to live with her fox family.

But what about her dad and the raincoat man?

Soon she will have to choose who her pack really is.

Expect to see beauty hidden in unremarkable places, friendships that don’t follow the rules, the things that unite us and a girl aching to belong.

For ages 7+ and their families

Potential trigger warnings:
There are themes of immigration, bereavement, loss, estrangement and fire in Vixen.
