"She Kills Monsters" is an imaginative and dynamic play that blends elements of reality with the fantastical world of Dungeons & Dragons.
At its heart, it's a story of grief and discovery. When Agnes loses her teenage sister, Tilly, she uncovers Tilly's Dungeons & Dragons notebook. This discovery thrusts Agnes into a vibrant, imaginary world that was her sister's secret refuge and passion. The play navigates Agnes's journey through this world, not just as a game, but as a profound exploration of her sister's life, her own identity, and their shared history.
The production is categorized as a "High-Octane dramatic comedy," suggesting a fast-paced, energetic, and often humorous narrative, even as it tackles serious themes of loss and self-understanding. The "glorious swordplay" mentioned indicates exciting action sequences, likely brought to life through stage combat and creative staging.
Beyond the adventure, the play serves as a poignant "homage to the geek and warrior within us all." It celebrates the power of imagination, the importance of subcultures, and the strength found in embracing one's unique interests and internal battles. It explores themes of acceptance, identity, and finding connection even after loss, all wrapped within an engaging and visually dynamic theatrical experience.
Directed by Joshua Paul McCreary and produced by Laura Mills, and written by the acclaimed Qui Nguyen, "She Kills Monsters" promises a theatrical journey that is both emotionally resonant and wildly entertaining.
