She Kills Monsters is a comedic romp into the world of fantasy role-playing games. The play tells the story of Agnes Evans, who is mourning the death of her teenage sister, Tilly. When Agnes finds Tilly’s Dungeons and Dragons notebook she stumbles into a journey of discovery and action-packed adventure in the imaginary world that was Tilly’s refuge. In this high octane dramatic comedy laden with fairies, nasty ogres, and 90’s pop culture, acclaimed young playwright Qui Nguyen (whose Vietgone has received raves across the country) offers a heart-pounding homage to the geek and warrior within us all.
