TheaterWorks (Rob Ruggiero, Producing Artistic Director) announced today that due to popular demand THE WOLVES by Sarah DeLappe will extend through November 12, 2017 (please note date change). THE WOLVES is the 1st show of TheaterWorks 32nd Season,
Directed by TheaterWorks Artistic Associate Eric Ort, THE WOLVES won rave reviews last season and was a 2017 Pulitzer Prize Finalist. The production was also nominated for Lucille Lortel and Drama League awards for Best Play, as well as for the Outer Critics' Circle John Gassner Award for Outstanding New American Play. Deceptively simple, but formidable, THE WOLVES follows the ebb and flow of power and affection within a girls' soccer team, as they navigate the game and their lives. This is an incandescent portrait of female warriors fighting to find their place in a complicated world. It is a timely play about the fierceness of adolescence that rings brave and true with humor and profound insight. Originally produced by The Playwrights Realm, THE WOLVES took New York by storm last season. The New York production returns again this fall to Lincoln Center but Connecticut audiences can see it first in Hartford. Director Eric Ort (TheaterWorks assistant director Next To Normal, Midsummer, Dancing Lessons, and Time Stands Still) said "Sarah DeLappe has written a funny and gutsy play about young fighters grappling with concerns both mundane and global. I love this play because it brings us into an intimate and unfiltered world where young women are forging with spirit and strength the way they will move through the world."Videos
