L J Freeman - beloved quarterback for the current Super Bowl champs, "American hero," husband to a beautiful woman, father to two young children - has made a really terrible, really stupid mistake. His senseless crime was caught on a security video which is now all over the media; his football career is over; his family is falling apart - and his nine-year-old has seen what her daddy did. With dark humor, WOOF examines the very raw, honest story of one man watching his world crumble around him and discerning what he must do to move forward. "Playwright Y York is getting at something very interesting in WOOF, her bold drama ... In fact she's digging up a whole tangle of thorny reflections about race, celebrity, parent-child relationships, infidelity, the need to stop poisoning our planet and heaven knows what else. At times you think York has taken on too much, then somehow she makes a persuasive connection and the idea that seemed out of left field proves pertinent to her peculiarly gripping narrative. Yet even more than what York is saying it's how she says it that makes WOOF challenging and rewarding. She'll make one point obliquely so that it sneaks up on you, then land the next one smack on the nose ... the upshot is WOOF keeps surprising you ... keeps ringing true ..." -Everett Evans, Houston Chronicle "Y York's WOOF is one of those rare pieces of theater that scream brilliance, perfection, and soulfulness from beginning to end. WOOF in its purest essence is about relationships, particularly family relationships, under extreme pressure. It is about life. It is about love. It is about making mistakes. It is about forgiveness and redemption. It is funny. It is theater at its finest and most blindingly brilliant." -Buzz Bellmont, Houston Chronicle online
