Overview
Pulitzer Prize finalist The Wolves is the debut play of up-and-coming playwright Sarah DeLappe. Featuring an all-female cast (comprised of nine adolescents and one briefly-seen adult), The Wolves chronicles six Saturday mornings in the lives of a soccer team somewhere in suburban America as they prepare for their games. The girls discuss everything from genocide to menstrual cycles to drugs to boys to literature to each other, and a group of girls whom at first seem indistinguishable as each is referred to by only her number and all are clad in the same jersey only bearing her number quickly become identifiable and different. In the course of six short weeks, the Wolves deal with love, loss, and identity in ways that real teenagers do.

Due to UK Government guidance surrounding the ongoing situation with COVID-19, all of Central’s productions are currently being planned, staged, designed, rehearsed, directed and performed as theatrical presentations, filmed for later streaming. This ensures that learning outcomes can be met whilst allowing for a wider distribution to industry partners and the audiences who engage with our work.
Social distancing of two metres is being observed onsite and face coverings are required at all times except for in dress rehearsals, technical rehearsals and final performances as risk assessed; as well as medical exemptions, to facilitate communication (such as lip-reading) and where it may impact on the quality of teaching and learning.
