ABOUT THE SHOW
In this contemporary slice-of-life play, The Wolves, a girls’ indoor soccer team, practice drills as they prepare for a succession of games. As they warm up and talk about life, the girls navigate the politics of their personal lives as well as the politics of the larger world, gossiping about things like war, menstrual products, genocide, sports, pop culture, and their relationships. Each team member struggles to negotiate her individuality while being a part of a group. They bond over a bag of orange slices and personal traumas. The team seems as if it may disband after the sudden death of one of the girls, but they manage to come together. In the end, the surviving team players prepare to play yet another game together—closer, stronger, wiser, and fiercer.

OF NOTE

- Seeking all ethnicities and cultural backgrounds for all roles.
- There is explicit dialogue and profanity in the play.
- No prepared reading or monologue required; please be prepared for cold readings from the script.
- Actors are requested to wear comfortable athletic clothes and footwear—there will be a movement aspect to the audition process.
AUTHOR’S NOTE
Each scene is a warm-up for a game. The warm-up is a series of exactly-timed stretches: lunges, quads, hamstrings, butterfly, etc. The team executes it wordlessly, in perfect unison and with military precision. Over the course of the play, #46 learns the warm-up. In Week Three, if #46 can’t juggle a soccer ball, she should perform footwork or tricks to the rhythm of the yogurt chant. It ought to be an impressive show of ball-handling skill. In Time-Out, #00 must exhaust herself with great feats of athleticism and strength that build to the final scream. What that sequence looks like is open to interpretation. It could be kicking soccer balls offstage. In our production, the actor devised an escalating series of exercises, including high knees, butt kicks, burpees, jumping jacks, etc.

ABOUT THE SHOW
In a small house on a big hill in County Galway, Ireland, the Folan women live out an uneasy truce. Maureen and her elderly but iron-willed mother Mag spend their days in endless rounds of petty insults and physical threats as each maneuvers for control of their isolated existence. But when an old family friend reappears and offers Maureen a chance at love and a new life, this once-benign terrain grows treacherous and the two women, bound by blood but driven by desperation, will do anything to survive.
Written by Martin McDonagh
