Warning-long post ahead . I am co-directing this show and am incredibly proud of our amazing cast and crew. I have included part of my director’s letter because I proposed this show for some specific reasons.
SHE KILLS MONSTERS takes viewers inside the fantasy role-playing world of Dungeons and Dragons. High schooler Tilly Evan, an avid D&D player, recently died in a car crash. Her older sister, Agnes, now a teacher at their high school, discovers Tilly’s D&D notebook. In an attempt to connect with her lost sister, Agnes enlists Tilly’s D&D friends to take her inside the adventure Tilly created.
In this high-octane comedy laden with homicidal fairies, nasty ogres, and 90s pop culture, acclaimed playwright Qui Nguyen (VIETGONE, LIVING DEAD IN DENMARK) offers a heart-pounding homage to the geek and warrior within us all.
IS THIS PLAY FUNNY OR SAD OR WEIRD OR WHAT?
Very funny, and occasionally sad in a touching, nostalgic way. Though it at times deals with difficult issues facing teenagers and adults, it is very much a comedy. SHE KILLS MONSTERS is fundamentally about owning and celebrating who you are and what or who you love.
IS THIS PLAY GOING TO BE APPROPRIATE FOR MY MOM/KID/PASTOR/CO-WORKER/1ST DATE?
“Appropriate” is a relative word, but in this case, the play is very appropriate for most audiences. Here are a few things to know when deciding who to bring to the theatre with you:
We recommend this play for all audiences. While children and adults of any age are welcome, children 10 and older will probably appreciate the content more than their younger counterparts.
Language: The play is set in an American high school in the 1990’s, so yes, there’s a fair amount of adult language used in a casual way.
Explicit Sexual Content: There are a few low-key references to sex and some making-out that happens on stage, but overall, everyone keeps their pants on.
Violence: You can’t kill the monsters without some violence, so you can expect sword fights, staff fights, hand-to-hand combat, telekinesis-based bullying, and some pretty aggressive yearbook ad sales.
