King Liz is about sports agent Liz Rico who in order to take over the agency she helped build, must make a career for a volatile basketball superstar. Coppel, a lifelong fan of the NBA, explores the challenges of being a woman of color in a male-dominated workforce and the price that comes with success.[4] King Liz was included on The Kilroy's list of "most recommended un- and underproduced new plays by female and trans authors" in 2015.[5]
