From the press release: A comedic romp into the world of fantasy role-playing games, SHE KILLS MONSTERS tells the story of
Agnes Evans as she leaves her childhood home in 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 playwright Qui Nguyen offers a heart-pounding homage to the geek and warrior within us all.

SHE KILLS MONSTERS runs March 16th – April 21st at Prop Thtr, 3502 N. Elston Ave, Chicago, IL 60618. For more information visit thecuckoostheaterproject.com.
