Left Quad. Right Quad. Lunge. A fierce girls’ soccer team warms up for games and practice. From the safety of their indoor soccer field, the team kicks around everything from balls to politics.

Take a first-hand look at nine young women exploring who they are and who they want to become in a complicated world.

“The scary, exhilarating brightness of raw adolescence emanates from every scene of this uncannily assured first play by Sarah DeLappe.” – Ben Brantley, The New York Times
“The Wolves is a delightful meditation on society, sex, and soccer…DeLappe’s dialogue is hilarious and idiosyncratic, moving swiftly from gross-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.” – Miriam Felton-Dansky, The Village Voice
