She Kills Monsters
By Qui Nguyen
Through the discovery of her dead sister’s Dungeons and Dragons journal, Agnes learns that Tilly was as extraordinary in her real life as she was in her fantasy life. This high-octane dramatic comedy, chock full of homicidal fairies, evil ogres, and 90’s pop culture celebrates the geek warrior in all of us.

Proof

Winner of the 2001 Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award for Best Play
On the eve of her twenty-fifth birthday, Catherine, a troubled young woman, has spent years caring for her brilliant but unstable father, a famous mathematician. Now, following his death, she must deal with her own volatile emotions; the arrival of her estranged sister, Claire; and the attentions of Hal, a former student of her father's who hopes to find valuable work in the 103 notebooks that her father left behind. Over the long weekend that follows, a burgeoning romance and discovery of a mysterious notebook draw Catherine into the most difficult problem of all; How much of her father's madness--or genius--will she inherit?
An immersive theatre in the round.
