WOLFPACK

In 2020, Plan International led a survey of more than 1000 girls aged 14-21. Their findings included that 6 in 10 girls think males are treated better than females in the UK and one of the most common issues was that girls felt their opinions were not heard.

We need your help to raise £3000 for Wolfpack.

Wolfpack is an arts project enabling a group of young women to make their own piece of theatre and to perform it alongside a professional show on professional stages around the Midlands.

Wolfpack will be made up of young people from Nottingham and Nottinghamshire who might not usually have the opportunity to take part in a high quality arts project. The funds raised will support fifteen young people working with theatre professionals for a week-long workshop followed by a series of rehearsals leading up to a tour.

We’re raising money to pay for access costs Like a BSL interpreter or a one-to-one assistant. To provide a meal for every Wolfpack member every day of the project, to hire a minibus for touring and to pay a professional photographer to capture our work.

Wolfpack is the sister project to SHEWOLVES, a new play about protest, sisterhood and the underestimated smartness of teens. SHEWOLVES has been developed with young women and non-binary young people from around the country. 

The WOLFPACK project will amplify the voices of young women and non-binary young people showcasing the group’s work in a professional theatre environment and enabling them to see themselves as artists with valuable ideas & skills.

Please join the Wolfpack by supporting us however you can. Spread the word

And tell all your friends

Thanks!

SHEWOLVES

Written by Sarah Middleton, Concept by Sarah Middleton and Hannah Stone

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, a hunger to tackle climate change, and the SHEWOLVES manifesto, they embark on a covert expedition into the wild.

But when the wilderness closes in around them, how far will they go to protect their utopia?

Somewhere between Booksmart, The End of the F***ing Worldand Thelma & Louise, Shewolves is a play about forging friendships when you’re a bit weird, the power of hope and the underestimated smartness of teens.

Feedback on SHEWOLVES

“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”

“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!” 

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

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

“It was genuinely funny - how real women speak”

"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, Nottingham TV Workshop director) 

“What begins as a protest outside the school gates, rapidly develops into something of a phenomenon. It’s a buddy-quest-road-trip adventure with an explosive ending that will leave you yelling ‘yeeeaaah!!’” (Sian Booth, Mansfield Palace Theatre)
