Wolf Play Reading

Edinburgh 2026

In 1995, two packs of wolves were released in Yellowstone National Park for the first time in 70 years. Rather than spreading out throughout the park, the two packs went to war with each other – sparking 18 years of clan warfare, as three generations of wolves fought for control of a single valley. In Wolf Play, this extraordinary true story becomes a modern day Shakespearian epic. Sibling rivalry, ill-fated love affairs and dynastical struggle unfold in a real life saga of sex, power and family.
