About
the Play:
She Kills Monsters is a full-length dramatic comedy by Qui
Nguyen. The
play centers on average
Agnes, who is finally leaving her childhood home following the death
of her totally weird sister, Tilly. When she stumbles upon Tilly's
Dungeons & Dragons notebook, however, Agnes embarks on an
action-packed adventure to discover more about her sister than she
previously cared to know. This is the revised edition created
specially for High School performing groups.
She Kills Monsters deep
and fascinating dive into the world of fantasy role-playing games
tells the story of high schooler Agnes Evans as she copes with
the death of her teenage sister, Tilly. When Agnes finds Tilly's
Dungeons & Dragons design module, she stumbles into an
action-packed adventure inside Tilly's imaginary refuge from her
adolescent experience, finding herself on an unexpected hero's quest.
The play, from acclaimed young playwright Qui Nguyen, is a
high-octane adventure laden with homicidal fairies, nasty ogres, and
1990s pop culture that serves as an homage to the geek and warrior
within us all, and a surprisingly sweet tale of friendship, loss, and
acceptance.
She Kills Monsters
premiered in 2011 at the Flea Theater Off-Off-Broadway in New York
City. Since then the
play had regional premieres at professional theatres and has been
mounted by high schools, colleges, and community theatres.
Cast: 6 female, 3 male
What people say:
"Deceptively breezy and rather
ingenious. The whole enterprise is kind of dopey and kind of
invigorating and kind of remarkable. It will slash and shapeshift its
way into your heart." — The New York Times
"Packed with action, wit, and
a sizable nerd-quotient, the production is a delight from start to
finish." — Theatremania
"Positively slays the
audience. Delightfully farcical." — Stage &
Cinema
"Nguyen is a refreshing,
break-the-rules writer – he has a ready embrace of pop culture,
high-school speak and 'High Fidelity' cool, and he also has a mission
to redeem gaming geeks everywhere...She Kills Monsters,
delivers exactly what it promises, is generally a blast." —
Chicago Tribune
