She Kills Monsters, Young Adventurers Edition is a comedic romp into the world of fantasy role-playing games. The play tells the story of high schooler 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 within us all.
She Kills Monsters, Young Adventurers Edition is PG-13 rated. Parents of elementary aged children should note that the play does include some fantasy inspired fight sequences, mild adult language, and mild adult situations.
