Spotlight on The Wolves: Interview with Asha Forno & Jayde Dowhy from Mockingbird Theatre

Get ready Canberra! The Wolves, a sharp, witty, and powerful play by Sarah DeLappe, is coming to life at Belconnen Arts Centre from October 15 to November 1. Presented by Mockingbird Theatre Company, this irresistible ode to teenage girlhood and sisterhood promises laughs, raw emotion, and fierce performances.

We had the chance to sit down with cast members Asha Forno and Jayde Dowhy to talk about what makes The Wolves so special. Both actors share their excitement about exploring complex adolescent characters in a fresh, all-female ensemble, and the unique challenge of portraying a fiercely tight-knit indoor soccer team navigating life’s off-field battles together.

Directed by Chris Baldock, The Wolves is highly praised worldwide for its authentic and hilarious depiction of teenage life. It’s a story about friendship, competition, anxiety, and resilience—all set on a patch of Astroturf where the girls find strength in each other’s company.

Tickets are on sale now, so be sure to catch this limited season at Belco Arts. Dive into our full interview on ArtSound.fm and discover why The Wolves is Canberra theatre you won’t want to miss.
