SUMMARY:Wolf Play
DESCRIPTION:Robin and her brother anxiously await the arrival of Robin&#8
 217\\;s newly adopted son\\, a young Korean boy with an affinity for wolv
 es and a thick\\, socially protective mask enacted through a puppet avata
 r. This is no ordinary adoption\\, however. Peter\\, the boy&#8217\\;s fi
 rst adoptive father\\, is re-homing the child now that he and his unseen 
 wife have borne a biological child. To avoid the costs and formal oversig
 ht of the family court system\\, this adoption is performed informally an
 d under the table a child relinquished and received with a few signatures
 . Initially mistaking Robin&#8217\\;s brother for a husband\\, Peter is a
 ppalled to meet Ash\\, Robin&#8217\\;s nonbinary partner. The realization
  that he has abandoned his son to a queer couple sparks a crisis of con
 science for Peter\\, who quickly determines to reclaim custody of the boy
 .\\nAsh\\, meanwhile\\, is skeptical of the whole situation the legal and
  emotional precarity of the informal adoption as well as the commitment o
 f parenting when they&#8217\\;re about to debut in professional boxing (w
 ith Robin&#8217\\;s brother as their trainer). Every adult believes that 
 they are doing what is &#8220\\;best\\,&#8221\\; each enacts harm in thei
 r turn. As the tenuous bonds of both his first and second adoptions begin
  to unravel\\, Wolf (the boy) must figure out how to survive the best int
 entions of those who want to care for him but don&#8217\\;t know how. As 
 a domestic drama at the intersections of &#8220\\;realism&#8221\\; and em
 otionally heightened\\, surrealist memory\\, &#8220\\;Wolf Play&#8221\\; 
 asks audiences to sit with the deep emotional weight of the failures of b
 est intentions. How can we build lasting connections with one another and
  repair harm? How might those who have hurt us also have provided our gre
 atest gifts for survival?\\n&#8220\\;Wolf Play&#8221\\; premiered at seve
 ral theatres in 2019 and 2020 as part of National New Play Network&#8217\
 \;s rolling world premiere initiative. Premiere theatres included Artists
  Rep in Portland\\, Oregon (March 2019)\\, The Gift Theatre in Chicago\\,
  Illinois (July 2019) and Company One Theatre in Boston\\, Massachusetts 
 (February 2020). &#8220\\;Wolf Play&#8221\\; is the 2023 recipient of the
  Lucille Lortel Award for Outstanding Play.\\n&#8220\\;Wolf Play&#8221\\;
  is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel
