Overview

Hawaii Nei brings together three plays by one of Hawaii's finest playwrights. A compassionate portrait of early nineteenth- century Hawaii, """"The Conversion of Kaahumanu"""" charts the lives of five women during the traumatic, transforming events that followed Western contact. Set in post-World War II Hawaii, """"Emmalehua"""" tells the story of a young Hawaiian woman struggling to preserve a cherished cultural heritage in a world eager to forget the past and embrace the new American dream. Through history, humor, and a whodunnit plot, the past and present collide in """"Ola Na Iwi,"""" which explores the issues surrounding the treatment of indigenous human remains.
