This sexy and seductive 2011-12 Tony Nominated comedy introduces Vanda, a seemingly unassuming, talented actress, determined to win the lead role by any means necessary in Thomas' scintillating new play.

An electrifyingly funny play that was “the most acclaimed new Broadway play of the season.”

By Steve Yockey

This National New Play Network Rolling World Premiere features Ben, who freaks out when his roommate Jack brings home a big bad wolf for a one-night stand. When he tries to "rescue" Jack, Ben sets into motion a dangerous chain of events that will unravel everything in their very small apartment in the very big city. Throw in a peculiar narrator who knows more than she's letting on and this sexy, savagely funny fairy tale for grownups twists and turns to a breath-taking climax. WOLVES fuses the worlds of fable and horror in a fascinating story of unrequited love, the virtues of lava lamps, the dangers of storytelling, and the hazards of a handy axe.
