On cold Saturday mornings at an indoor soccer field, a tight-knit girls’ soccer team warms up, stretches, and readies itself to protect a flawless season. As they lace up their cleats, conversations jump rapidly from the mundane to the monumental, all the while revealing the humor, uncertainty, and the unfiltered thoughts of teenagers standing on the edge of adulthood. Both raw and funny, The Wolves captures the intensity of competition and the complicated bonds forged through teamwork. Through the eyes of these fearless sixteen-year-olds, the play examines identity, aggression, loyalty, and the quiet vulnerability behind the roar of the game, marking Sarah DeLappe as one of the most bold and compelling voices in contemporary theatre.
