But when the wilderness closes in around them, can Lou and Priya overcome their differences to make their voices heard?

Media

“Sarah Middleton’s script is both light and sincere, comic and dramatic.” – Everything Theatre

“An hour of exhilarating drama with a smidgen of silliness.” – Broadway World

“SHEWOLVES shows all the promise and potential of an engaging, youth-centric, politically relevant play with equally great writing, direction, and company.” – Broadway World

“Sparky and delightful.” – The Stage

“Badass comedy.” – Theatre Weekly

“[It] cleverly captures the sheer effervescence of teenage girls – their bubbly natures which often hide their darker insecurities and fears. It offers an enjoyable hour of, perhaps, something we might term as a new genre of theatre: Fizzertainment.” – LondonTheatre1
