Perfectly but also uniquely captures the dynamics of a group of teen girls united by their sports team. The way these characters reveal themselves and grapple with their shared and separate struggles is so wonderful, both funny and heartbreaking and ultimately unforgettable.

I know I’m late to The Wolves party but what a truly incredible play! I was lucky to see Philadelphia Theatre Company’s production. The Wolves runs 90 minutes but I could listen to DeLappe’s characters and dialogue for hours. This play is powerful and important with the perfect combination of humor and heart. Absolutely brilliant!

I saw this riveting production at ACT in Seattle. So few scripts accomplish the feat of creating genuine lives of teenagers, let alone teenage girls. Sarah DeLappe does this with a masterful ear for dialogue, and clever theatrical conventions - Young female characters identified only as their numbers hits the audience with a jolt of anxiety, melancholy, and compassion simultaneously. The dialogue of American youth is pure and deliberately unvarnished, and it is so impressive to see the how the characters are introduced in a manner that defies cliché and predictable characterizations. This script is a masterclass in ensemble playwriting.
