The Wolves

Pulitzer Prize finalist The Wolves is the debut play of up-and-coming playwright Sarah DeLappe. Featuring an all-female cast (comprised of nine adolescents and one briefly-seen adult), The Wolves chronicles six Saturday mornings in the lives of a soccer team somewhere in suburban America as they prepare for their games.

The girls discuss everything from genocide to menstrual cycles to drugs to boys to literature and each other, and a group of girls whom at first seem indistinguishable, as each is referred to by her jersey number only, quickly become identifiable and different. In the course of six short weeks, the Wolves deal with love, loss, and identity in ways that real teenagers do.
