Wolves

November 6 @ 7 pm

Ben is a timid young city-dweller 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 alter the world as they know it, and the Narrator can barely keep a lid on the looming violence.

This “deconstruction” of the Little Red Riding Hood story is a darkly comic, predatory fairy tale for adults that explores the conflation of sex and fear in modern culture, the comfort of lava lamps, and the dangers of a handy axe.

Wolf, Jack, and Ben. We’re going to tell you their story. By the end, one will be dead, one will be a killer, and one will be a mess.
