She Kills Monsters is a drama-comedy play by Qui Nguyen that debuted in 2011. It tells the story of Agnes Evans, an average woman who loses her parents and little sister Tilly in a car accident. Having been very distant from her sister while she was alive, Agnes embarks on an adventure to get to know her sister better by playing a Dungeons & Dragons module that Tilly had written, and discovers things she'd never imagined. The plot takes place in reality and in the imaginary game world; in the game world Agnes learns about Tilly's exploration with her sexuality and how she struggled with her sexuality in reality.

Patrick Marber's adaptation of Henrik Ibsen's Hedda Gabler is a modern take on the classic drama, focusing on the psychological complexities of the titular character, Hedda, and her struggles with societal expectations and personal desires. The play, while rooted in Ibsen's original, explores contemporary issues like gender roles, celebrity culture, and the impact of the internet. Shinn's adaptation aims to make Hedda a more relatable and empathetic figure, even amidst her manipulative and destructive actions.
