The Wolves
Before the whistle blows... we are the wolves. WE ARE THE WOLVES.
Left quad. Right quad. Lunge. A girls indoor soccer team warms up. From the safety of their suburban stretch circle, the team navigates big questions and wages tiny battles with all the vim and vigor of a pack of adolescent warriors. A portrait of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for nine American girls who just want to score some goals.
The Wolves was a finalist for the 2017 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, received the American Playwriting Foundation's inaugural Relentless Award, and was a finalist for the Susan Smith Blackburn Prize and the Yale Drama Series Prize.
Vigorous performance touching on a number of causes of teenage angst. Reflective more-so than deeply investigating, but very watchable none the less.
