SARAH DELAPPE’S THE WOLVES IS SOLD OUT!
From the safety of the suburbs, a girls soccer team navigates life’s big questions and wages their own tiny battles—with all the “bark and bite” (Vulture.com) of a pack of adolescent warriors. A “smart, hilarious, delightful meditation on society, sex and soccer” (The Village Voice), The Wolves is a portrait of the pursuit of happiness for nine American teens who just want to score some goals.
Named one of the best plays of 2016 by The New York Times!
Recommended for ages 14+
