SHEWOLVES

Ever thought you should run the world, even though you’re ‘only fourteen and a girl’?

Priya and Lou have. And they’re ready to bite back against any adult who doubts them. Armed with a backpack full of Pop-tarts and a hunger to tackle climate change, they embark on a covert expedition into the wild.

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

Somewhere between Booksmart, Little Miss Sunshine and Thelma & Louise, SHEWOLVES is an uplifting, funny and empowering play about forging friendships when you’re a bit weird, the power of hope and the underestimated smartness of teens.

AUDIENCE REVIEWS

“I thought the tone and style of it was a really clever and engaging interpretation of a 'reading'. Sublimely acted and you really brought the humour and sadness of the script to life. Spoke to our members that saw it and they were raving about it!”

Nicholas Harvey, Director of Nottingham TV Workshop

“At the end I felt satisfied the characters got to have their piece said and that the focus was on their experience together through this. Journey of. Self. Discovery.”

Audience Member

“The music and lighting came together to give it a really cool technological feel and it was emotional while also not sacrificing the comedy of it all, and I found it incredibly inspiring!”

Audience Member

“I really enjoyed the show last night, such an empowering, fun, relevant coming of age story.”

Audience Member

“It was incredibly inspiring and honestly, I felt like a she-wolf too! Their happiness was contagious and I left feeling giggly and empowered.”
