Director Dan Herd
Movement Director Sara Green
Set and Costume Designer Rhyannon Richardson
Lighting Designer Steve Heywood

Intensely personal, moving and funny, The Wolves follows the teenage members of an American girls soccer team. Set during the weekly warm-up and spanning several months, the players grow closer as they open up about the issues they face and their experiences of identity, race and growing up.

A finalist for the Pulitzer Prize, The Wolves is a fascinating coming-of-age drama focussed on the issues affecting young women in contemporary society.

The Wolves contains strobe and haze. It features strong language, discrimination, and references to distressing subject matter.

Duration: 90 minutes, no interval
