←Recommendations of The Wolves

At a glance this looked like a daunting read (nine characters, only identified by their jersey number), and then I was blown away by how quickly I eased into who is speaking when and why. The Wolves is as deeply realized a play about young women can be. The language is frantic and messy yet so precise, it breaks the rules in so many fascinating ways, and the ending is so deeply affecting in its indirectness. It's hilarious, it's ugly, it's beautiful, it's heart-squeezing.

Studied and saw this play at the O'Neill Theater Center's NTI program. As a soccer fan and a former high school teacher, this language, this story, and these characters are a part of my story.

I DON'T HAVE WORDS. Luckily Sarah DeLappe does, and they are never misused, and so precise. This is a play which really challenges what you can do on a stage. And it has so many roles for women. It's perfect. Pick it.

Hilarious and heartbreaking. Amazing roles for young women. One of my favorite new plays I've read in recent memory!

Love that this play has so many wonderful parts for females! Also love the language of the play which is bloody and true dealing with girls as bleeders and their compassion (or lack of compassion) when it comes to dealing with war criminals and genocide. It's funny, and then it's darker than that, in a good way!

I love this play. It sneaks up on you in ways you don't expect.
