Overview

"""There’s an unruly quality to Jung’s idea of what theater can be, jagged and untethered, coy and dreamlike. It’s thrilling to see that potential unleashed on the vagaries of love."" New York Times A southpaw boxer is on the verge of their pro debut when their wife signs the adoption papers for a Korean boy: the boy’s original adoptive father was all set to hand him over to a new home … until he realizes the boy would have no 'dad'. Caught in the middle, the child launches himself in a lone wolf’s journey of finding a pack he can call his own. Mischievous and affecting, Hansol Jung's Wolf Play deftly explores the intricacies of the families we choose and un-choose, and how far we would all go to defend our pack. Nominated for seven Lucille Lortel Awards after its initial production was postponed by the Covid-19 outbreak, Wolf Play is published in Methuen Drama's Modern Classics series, featuring a new introduction by Dustin Wills."
