The Wolves

by Sarah, DeLappe

Overview

Left quad. Right quad. Lunge. A girls indoor soccer team warms up. From the safety of their suburban stretch circle the team navigates big questions and wages tiny battles with all the vim and vigor of a pack of adolescent warriors. A portrait of life liberty and the pursuit of happiness for nine American girls who just want to score some goals.

Editorial Reviews

“DeLappe’s brilliance is that she reveals her players as they gossip, taunt, comfort and conspire not as archetypes—the smart one, the slutty one, the loner, the loudmouth, the nerd, the new kid—but as young women on the cusp of becoming their own self-defined characters.”

Variety - Frank Rizzo

"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."
