The Wolf at the Door is a passion play of sorts for playwright Tina Teeninga. In her notes she explains how she has been working on various incarnations of this play for years.
The story takes place at the beginning of the industrial age in a small English town. Matthias Grenfell is a very skilled weaver. He has two doting daughters and soft-spoken but firm wife. Various townspeople and relations are becoming increasingly concerned about a new factory that has opened up that is treating workers unfairly while driving cottage industries out of business.

The set by Molly Lai has a very cool string lattice work that can be lowered which turns the loom into a table and then back again. There is a rustic charm to the furniture.
