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 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.
Characters
-
Agnes Evans: Agnes is described as striving to live an absolutely average life. She is of average height, size, and build, and grew up in the average town of Athens, Ohio with average parents. In the original version of the play, Agnes is a 25-year-old English teacher at her and Tilly's former high school. After Tilly's death, Agnes decides to go on a D&D adventure in order to feel closer to Tilly, as they never had a close relationship.
-
Tilly Evans/Tillius the Paladin: Agnes's sister who dies in a car crash at the age of fifteen. Tilly has a love for D&D adventures and anything classified as nerdy or geeky. Through the D&D module Agnes plays, it is learned that Tilly was facing her own challenges with her sexuality and bullying while she was still alive. In the game, her girlfriend is Lilith, who is later learned to be based on one of her friends named Lilly (or Elizabeth).
-
Miles: Agnes's boyfriend of five years. Miles is shown to be scared of commitment in the original version for not proposing to Agnes.
-
Orcus/Ronnie: A demon overlord of the underworld that holds onto lost souls or knows where to find them. He is obsessed with watching television. The party travels to him first in order to ask about the Lost Soul of Athens. He later joins the party on their quest. He is based on one of Tilly's high school friends named Ronnie.
-
