Qui Nguyen (She Kills Monsters) is known for his ability to turn pop culture into physically explosive, heart-wrenching, funny and engrossing plays. With Begets: Fall of a High School Ronin, he turns his attention to the highs and lows of the American high school. What if your high school was a videogame? What if its divisive cliques were controlled by shoguns and threatened by samurai warriors? What if you suddenly discovered that the greatest fighter in the universe was actually a self-professed high school geekgurl? Does violence have to beget more violence? Does absolute power corrupt absolutely?
