Wolf Lullaby

by Hilary Bell

In a bleak, remote town, a small child is murdered. Suspicion falls on 9-year-old Lizzie. Convinced her daughter is guilty, Lizzie's young mother must make the torturous choice between ignoring her intuition and presenting Lizzie to the police. Lizzie is not the only one who is changed forever by the act. The adults around her, bewildered and full of denial, find their accepted beliefs crumbling around them in a play which explores the sources of violence and its legacy.

I just read this in my drama class and wow... it was so good! Every single one of us were in suspense and wondering how it was going to end!

Compelling enough, I think I'm catching on to what this play is meant to say but I'm not sure if I'm on board.

Quick read, engaging and short scenes, perfect for your drama class if they are mature enough to deal with the themes. Amazing questions posed as if children are born or made evil

Really enjoyed this, though a little unresolved. Felt the hopelessness felt by characters - all of them.
