STORY: How do you connect with your sister when she’s dead? By ass-kicking your way through Dungeons and Dragons, of course! That’s the only way for Agnes to get to know her younger sister, Tilly. As the intensity of the D&D game blurs fantasy with reality, Agnes must question everything she knows about her sister and life itself to survive. Qui Nguyen’s play is re-imagined with Japanese-style sword-fighting, visual soundscapes, and shadow work. And monsters. Lots of sexy monsters.
