She Kills Monsters at Carpenter Square Theatre

A sci-fi adventure by Qui Nguyen                                                                                         

She Kills Monsters tells the story of high school teacher Agnes Evans as she deals with the death of her younger sister, Tilly. When Agnes stumbles upon Tilly’s Dungeons & Dragons notebook, 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.

“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.   “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
