“Flanders’ writing is warm and often direct…Sings in moments of quiet intimacy”
-The Stage
“Through the story of one beautiful, fractured family, this debut play by Dexter Flanders shows how complex, and at times how devastating, the Black gay experience can be. Shortlisted for the Alfred Fagon award, Foxes is a deeply moving story of faith, family and what’s deemed forgivable.”
-Guardian
“Foxes is a powerful and emotional play with a voice that deserves to be heard.”
