She Kills Monsters tells the story of Agnes Evans as she leaves her childhood home in Ohio following the death of her teenage sister, Tilly. When Agnes finds Tilly's Dungeons & Dragons notebook, however, she stumbles into a journey of discovery and action-packed adventure in the imaginary world that was Tilly's refuge. In this dramatic comedy laden with homicidal fairies, nasty ogres, and 90s pop culture, acclaimed playwright Qui Nguyen offers a heart-pounding homage to the geek and warrior within us all.
"There is a line in She Kills Monsters that has stuck with me since I first saw the show almost a decade ago; '...We play it because it's awesome. It's about adventures and saving the world and having magic. And maybe - I guess - in some small, teeny capacity, it might have a little to do with wish fulfillment,'" said director Marina Altschiller-Gannon. "Behind the sword-fighting, the demons, and the dragons is the story of two people fulfilling a simple wish: to understand the sister they never really knew."
