She Kills Monsters
by Qui Nguyen
Directed by Glynis Rigbsy
Scenic Design by Michael Minahan
Costume Design by Seth Bodie
Lighting Design by Miriam Crowe
She Kills Monsters tells the story of Agnes Evans as she move out of her childhood home in Athens, 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 high-octane dramatic comedy laden with homicidal fairies, nasty ogres, and 90s pop culture, acclaimed young playwright Qui Nguyen offers a heart-pounding homage to the geek and warrior within us all (www.samuelfrench.com).
