REVIEWS:
CRITIC'S PICK "The scary, exhilarating brightness of raw adolescence emanates from every scene of this uncannily assured first play by Sarah DeLappe."
The New York Times
"DeLappe has created an ensemble of distinct female characters without leaning on romantic partners or traditional feminine tropes to define them."
Theatremania
"DeLappe's exquisitly orchestrated cross talk and overlapping banter, dense with profanity and jokes, is quite musical."
Time Out NY
"The Wolves is a delightful meditation on society, sex, and soccer... DeLappe's dialogue is hilarious and idiosyncratic, moving swiftly fromgross-out humor to pain [...] She offers us ninety minutes in a smart, sympathetic, female world. It's a patch of Astroturf I would gladly set foot on again."
