She Kills Monsters deserves more attention!!!!
For those of you who don’t know what SKM is, it’s a play that revolves around D&D, with a female-heavy cast and LGBT subplot. It’s about 24 year-old Agnes Evans, and her 15 year-old deceased, lesbian sister, Tilly. Agnes finds Tilly’s D&D game module and decides to play it to find out more about her sister before she died.
My high school is currently putting this play on for production and I play *SPOILERS* Lilith/Lilly, Tilly’s crush/love interest!
This play is so important in today’s society and i’m sad that it’s so underrated!! The play portrays being gay in the 90s so well and what it’s like to be a closeted lesbian, along with badass combat and tech potential! When I first heard about this play, I was estatic! As a bisexual fem, i’m so glad that i’m able to rep my fellow closeted people/bisexuals through my character, Lilith!
I also love how female-heavy this play is, only 1/3 of the characters are men. It’s hard to find media that has more than 1-2 female characters, so it’s so refreshing to see something so powerful be repped by girls! :)
Even if you don’t particularly like D&D, this play is still VERY MUCH worth checking out for its accurate LGBT representation and plotline.
