“…a deeply resonant work from one of the American theater’s most complex new voices…” -Chicago Tribune
“Wolf Play leads the pack.” -Chicago Reader
“…like nothing I’ve ever seen before….The whole ensemble shines.” -Windy City Times
“Under McLeod’s precise, imaginative and warm direction, the entire cast and design team inhabit a truly magical, emotionally resonant framework within the confines of The Gift's intimate space. You can sometimes feel the production bursting at the seams at it careens from scene to scene, making use of every nook and cranny, and every theatrical magic trick in its tool belt to keep us engaged.” -NewCity Chicago
“McLeod's direction is pitch perfect” -Third Coast Review
“Wolf Play touches many points in the debate around adoption, race, and class through inventive and emotional storytelling. Its approach to these topics is unique in how personal it feels, and the lengths it goes to defy the expectations of its audiences.” -Rescripted
