A wolf collides with a young couple’s automobile on a snowy New Year’s Eve, igniting this triptych on the violence of deception. Unfolding across three relationships, an impotent novelist grasps for affection from his resentful fiancé, a woman longs for the specter of her overbearing ex-girlfriend, and a child discovers her unwitting role in her parents’ divorce. Acclaimed playwright Delaney Britt Brewer deftly weaves humor and compassion in this world premiere production of Wolves.

"The young playwright Delaney Britt Brewer has created an intricately woven, emotionally chilly drama about the pain of approaching 30 in New York...The dialogue is occasionally funny, but more interesting than its satire is the play’s clever formal style that breaks up the story into three parts that echo off one another. It’s a puzzle of a piece..."

"...disarmingly charming...'Wolves' weaves an intriguing spell. The 29-year-old playwright is particularly good at describing the crushing banality with which some relationships end."

"Richard Saudek-particularly fine in a role portrayed like a hand across satin, all surface shine. His evocation of Pierce's ironic point of view is terrific."
