"Wolf Play," written by Hansol Jung, is a playfully poignant narrative that delves into the complexities of family, identity, and belonging. The story centers around a Korean boy who is adopted by an American boxer and her wife through an online posting. As the plot unfolds, the boy's American ex-father, upon discovering that the new parents are a lesbian couple, becomes determined to reclaim his ex-son. This quest is fraught with emotional tension and is further complicated by the presence of Ryan, the boxer's coach and her wife's brother, who harbors a dislike for the new Korean boy. Adding a layer of surrealism, the boy's inner wolf self emerges, bringing a unique and somewhat peculiar dimension to the narrative. Directed with a keen eye for both humor and heartache, "Wolf Play" explores the intersections of cultural identity, familial bonds, and the often unpredictable nature of human relationships. The play's 90-minute runtime ensures a compact yet deeply engaging experience, with no intermission to break the immersive journey. Set on the Levin Stage at the Unicorn Theatre, this production promises to be a thought-provoking exploration of what it means to find one's place in a world that can be both welcoming and hostile.
