Description

In She Kills Monsters, playwright Qui Nguyen boldly goes where generations of dungeon masters have gone before, to tell the story of a young woman who, in losing herself in a game, reclaims a long-gone loved one. Agnes is grieving over the loss of her 15 year old sister Tilly in a car crash. Seeking to know the sister she has lost, Agnes enters Tilly’s fantasy world to discover more about her sister and the world she lived in. Filled with sword fights and monsters and the odd gelatinous cube, this comedy will touch your heart and release your inner geek.
