“Throughout all of this there is understated social satire. My companion and I appreciated that it did not feel the need to call attention to itself, to cry out “this is what’s wrong with gender roles and relationship conventions!” The play simply let those considerations be present as a natural subtext to the action.”

- Dorianne Emmerton, Mooney on Theatre, 2016

“We are so excited to be doing this piece as part of our one act festival this year! I recommended it to my student directors because it is playful, inclusive, and the comedic dialogue is very well written. The playwright does a great job using this wacky/brilliant plot device (a woman raised by wolves searching for a mate) to provide a hilarious social commentary around the ridiculous necessity of dating.”

- Sarah Provencal, Winthrop University Professor

"WILF is wickedly entertaining"
