A wolf collides with a young couple's automobile on a snowy New Year's Eve, igniting this triptych on the violence of deception. Unfolding across three relationships, an impotent novelist grasps for affection from his resentful fiancé, a woman longs for the specter of her overbearing ex-girlfriend, and a child discovers her unwitting role in her parents' divorce. Acclaimed playwright Delaney Britt Brewer weaves humor and compassion in this world premiere production of WOLVES.

Delaney Britt Brewer last collaborated with Kids With Guns for the 2007 critically acclaimed production of her play An Octopus Love Story. WOLVES reunites her with Octopus director Mike Klar and actor Josh Tyson (who Time Out called "a 21st Century Rock Hudson"). Brewer is a member of Ensemble Studio Theater's Youngblood Writers Group and also developed WOLVES under the auspices of a Dramatists Guild Fellowship.

The full cast will be announced in the coming weeks.

Three-time Drama Desk nominee (and 59E59 regular) Maruti Evans is lighting and scenic designer. Dallas-based composer and percussionist John Colaruotolo provides the sound design and original score. Costumes are designed by Heather Klar.
