Regina’s brothers are played by Steve Vinovich (Ben) and Marc Singer (Oscar). Shawn Lee is Oscar’s son Leo. Mr. Vinovich does a yeoman-like job and is quite chilling at times. Mr. Singer is good but seems to be playing to the balcony. Leo is appropriately detestable, but if Oscar had detested him too his alienation as well as the humor of the part would have been fully realized.
Ms. McGillis is very good as Regina, but for some reason, perhaps in the name of humanizing the character, she is deprived of her most grand and evil moment: watching her husband die. Instead she is directed to turn front and weep, splitting the focus and diluting the moment.
Geoff Pierson is outstanding as Regina’s husband Horace. I found myself looking at him for much of the evening to catch the nuance and subtlety of his performance.
The Little Foxes will play at the Pasadena Playhouse until June 28.
