'Girl power is atomic in “The Wolves,” the incandescent portrait of an indoor soccer team … The scary, exhilarating brightness of raw adolescence emanates from every scene of this uncannily assured first play by Sarah DeLappe, and at times your instinct is to shade your eyes.' – NY Times
The Wolves, by Sarah DeLappe, first debuted at The Duke Theater in 2016. This Pulitzer-nominated drama centers on the daily experiences of a group of high-school girls. Played out over a series of pre-game warmups for the girls indoor soccer team, the play deals with themes of isolation, anxiety, and community. A remarkably modern play, The Wolves handles current events like the Family Separation Crisis through the eyes of bystanders, using the agonizing disenfranchisement of these girls as an artistic cudgel. Another interesting outgrowth of The Wolves modernity is its unique style of dialogue. With multiple lines of dialogue layering over one another in a frenetic back-and-forth, the play stretches theatres conventions over a new and interesting form.
