ABOUT THE PLAY


She Kills Monsters by Qui Nguyen is an adventurous quest awaits! SHE KILLS MONSTERS tells the story of Agnes Evans as she packs up her childhood home after the death of her younger sister, Tilly, and her parents. When she finds Tilly’s Dungeons and Dragons notebook, Agnes is transported into a journey of discovery and a world of fantasy and adventure. Learning more about her younger sister, Agnes meets elves, bugbears, and other fantastical beings while connecting with people Tilly loved. This action-packed, dramatic comedy is full of kick-butt fairies, nasty succubus, energetic 1990s pop culture, and, most importantly, living life to the fullest. Acclaimed playwright Qui Nguyen’s SHE KILLS MONSTERS celebrates the inner geek and warrior in us all.

Content warning: Adult language and themes, including violence, bullying, homophobia, and sexuality.
