Agnes would never be caught dead playing Dungeons and Dragons. But after the sudden loss of her parents and younger sister Tilly, she finds herself grieving in an unexpected way. While Agnes and Tilly were distant in life, Agnes finds a surprising new connection to her sister after discovering Tilly's notebook containing a game scenario. Playing the game Tilly designed, Agnes embarks on a journey filled with dungeon masters, fierce LGBTQI+ warriors, homicidal fairies, raunchy ogres, and bloodthirsty cheerleaders as fantasy and reality start to merge in this hilarious and heart-wrenching show from Emmy Award-winner Qui Nguyen.

She Kills Monsters is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc. www.concordtheatricals.com
