3/4 Production
"She Kills Monsters"
Written by Qui Nguyen
Directed by Renée van de Schoor
About the production:
"She Kills Monsters" is a drama-comedy play written by Qui Nguyen. It tells the story of Agnes, a very average high school teacher who never really had any passion in common with her teenager sister Tilly.
It is only after her whole family dies in a car crash (Tilly included), that Agnes stumbles upon a misterious book while cleaning up her sister's room: a self-written DnD module. With the help of Tilly's friends, she decides to play it, entering the imaginary world her sister created. She will immerse herself into the nerd culture, meet bold Dungeons & Dragons characters, fight weird-looking monsters... As the line between the real world and the DnD world blurs, she'll get to know her sister like never before.
A great drama-comedy filled with fantasy adventures and emotions; a storytale of DnD nerdiness, sybling relationship and queer identities.
About the director:
Renée Van De Schoor is a theater professional who has already directed two plays: "Frankestein" (Spring 2023) and "Harvey" (Winter 2024) with Alles is Drama. She is a director and theater theacher who enjoys working closely with students on many different projects. She has acted in "She Kills Monsters" in the past, fell in love with this play and has always been looking for the right theater group to direct this play with... until she found Alles is Drama! The dream will come true!

Autumn Semester Production
"Metamorphosis Retold"
Written and Directed by Nick van de Spijker
About the Production
Metamorphesis Retold is an original play written by Nick van de Spijker. The play consists out of three stories from Ovid's Metamorphesis that were rewritten to fit the form of a play.
The stories are:
-
Narcissus and Echo: A young man and a mountain nymph, in love with someone who will never love them back.
-
Pygmalion and the Statue: Pygmalion, a starving artist and struggling romantic falls in love with his own statue
-
Pyramus and Thisbe: Two young lovers having an affair frowned upon by both families. This was the inspiration for Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet".
The main theme in these three stories, besides a metamorphesis, is love. Every story tells the tale of a different kind of love in a unique narrative. The three stories take the audiance on a trip through many emotions. It is filled with laughs, cries and heartfelt moments.
About the director
Nick van de Spijker is a third year Medicine student at the University of Maastricht. Throughout his life he has come in a lot of contact with theatre and has presented himself in shows such as "White Rabbit, Red Rabbit". Nick was part of the 45th board of Alles is Drama (25-26) in which he has learned a lot of qualities suitable for a director. He read Ovid's Metamorphosis for the first time in high school after which his passion for Roman culture stuck. He is very excited to put his vision and that of his actors on stage and bring people the joy of first experiencing these stories as he once felt.
