Summary

Featured in The New York Times, July 2, 2020! Queer Kids, Nerds and Sword Fights: It’s the Hot School Play

Revised 2016 Edition. 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 finds herself catapulted into a journey of discovery and action-packed adventure in the imaginary world that was her sister’s refuge. In this high-octane 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.

History

She Kills Monsters premiered at the Flea Theater in New York City on November 4, 2011, under the direction of Robert Ross Parker.
