ABOUT THE PLAY
AGNES THE GIANT is a dark comedy about a girl who grows up believing she is a giant and must live her life stuck in a (tiny) house. She has hopes and dreams for her life and her future, such as dancing with the Rockets at Radio City Music Hall, playing banjo, and becoming a concert pianist. She also hopes for a nice boyfriend. In a series of songs, videos, photography, podcasts, dance demonstrations, and journal entries, Agnes chronicles her imagined life, and when she is finally able to escape her prison, her life in the real world.
