She Kills Monsters

Buckle up and get ready for this action packed, rollercoaster young adult production of She Kills Monsters by Qui Nguyen. This critically acclaimed show has been staged worldwide over 800 times since its debut, and Country Players are proud to now bring it to Wakefield.

Agnes Evans is a completely average woman who strives to be nothing but average until the day she wishes her life were a little less boring. Her wish unfortunately comes true when her family, including her younger sister Tilly, dies in a car crash. Agnes was never close to Tilly because they were interested in completely different things; Agnes loved mainstream pop culture, while Tilly had a passion for everything classified as nerdy or geeky, with a special love for Dungeons & Dragons. As Agnes is cleaning and packing up Tilly's room, she finds a module Tilly had written for D&D. In order to get closer to the sister she never really knew, Agnes embarks on her own adventure with the help of Dungeon Master Chuck to play the game as Tilly designed. As she delves deeper into her quest, the fantasy world and reality begin to collide and mix as Agnes searches to connect with Tilly and realizes how much of her sister she never knew.

In this high-octane dramatic comedy laden with homicidal fairies, nasty monsters and 90’s pop-culture, acclaimed playwright Qui Nguyen offers a heart-pounding homage to the geek and warrior within us all.

Please note this production contains coarse language and mature themes.
