Overview

A Korean boy is ushered into a new house by his adopted American father. This new house belongs to an American boxer and her wife. American father un-adopts boy by a single signature on a piece of paper. But just before he leaves the new house ex-father discovers that the new parents to whom he has "re-homed" his ex-son are a lesbian couple. American ex-father spends the rest of the play trying to get the boy back. In his corner is Ryan the boxer's coach and her wife's brother. Ryan doesn't like the new Korean boy who is a bit weird.

Wolf Play is a messy funny disturbing theatrical experience grappling with a wolf a puppet and the very prickly problem of "What is a family and what do we need from families today? Is it very different from what humans have needed from families before?"
