Listen up, “Bend it Like Beckham” fans: If you’re in New York City this fall, you may be able to catch “The Wolves,” an all-too-rare story about female athletes. According to Playbill, Sarah DeLappe’s play is making its Off-Broadway return. The finalist for the 2017 Pulitzer Prize for Drama centers on a suburban high school’s girls’ soccer team.

Originally produced last year at The Duke on 42nd Street by The Playwrights Realm in association with New York Stage & Film and Vassar’s Powerhouse Theatre season, “The Wolves” is directed by Lila Neugebauer, a former soccer player. “The opportunity to be both a coach and director at one time has been the apotheosis of my hopes and dreams,” she has said.

Previews are scheduled to kick off Lincoln Center Theater’s Mitzi Newhouse Theater November 1. Original cast members Tedra Millan, Sarah Mezzanotte, Mia Barron, Brenna Coates, Jenna Dioguardi, Samia Finnerty, Midori Francis, Lizzy Jutila, and Susannah Perkins will return for the upcoming run with more casting details to be announced.

A number of women will be working in key positions behind the scenes. “The production will feature scenic design by Laura Jellinek, costume design by Ásta Bennie Hostetter, [and] lighting design by Lap Chi Chu,” Playbill reports.

“I didn’t intend [‘The Wolves’] to be a political statement,” DeLappe has shared. “I was just trying to write these women as authentically and truthfully as possible — which I guess is a political act.” Whatever her intention for the play, it’s clearly struck a chord with both critics and audiences. “The production won an OBIE Ensemble Award — for Neugebauer and the acting ensemble — and a Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Ensemble. The play received nominations for the the Lucille Lortel Award, the Drama League Award, and the Outer Critics’ Circle Award,” Playbill writes. And it’s already set to receive productions at the Goodman Theatre, Studio Theatre, Marin Theatre Company, Lyric Stage Company, and Hyde Park Theatre.
