Kumu Kahua Theatre presents Aitu Fafine
Presenting a fanciful take on fascinating historical figures, AITU FAFINE premieres at Kumu Kahua Theatre on January 25, ringing in 2024 with the newest work of acclaimed playwright Victoria Nalani Kneubuhl. A seductive story full of laughter, anger, compassion, and forgiveness, the fictional play features famed writer Robert Louis Stevenson among its dynamic cast of characters. Directed by Lurana Donnels O’Malley, the production runs through February 25.
Set to a backdrop of dreams, literary musings and ghost stories, AITU FAFINE follows Stevenson and his family as they become infatuated with ʻafakasi visitors who come to stay at their home in Sāmoa. Relationships evolve and collide, resulting in life-changing confrontations.
Performances of AITU FAFINE are offered Thursdays- Saturdays at 7 p.m. and at 2 p.m. for Sunday matinees (no shows on February 11 and 15). On February 2, audiences are invited to stay after the show for a Talk Story session with the cast and crew. An American Sign Language interpretation will accompany the Sunday, February 18 show. Tickets for all shows are available now at the theatre’s box office in downtown Honolulu at 46 Merchant Street and online at www.KumuKahua.org.
During the January 25 - February 25, 2024 run of AITU FAFINE, the nonprofit theatre will offer a limited-time chance to save on experiencing all five plays remaining in the season while supporting community theatre. The partial-season subscription special includes tickets to AITU FAFINE, BERETANIA SNAPSHOTS by Sean-Joseph Choo, plus all three plays of The KĀMAU Trilogy (KĀMAU, KĀMAU AʻE and UA PAU) by Alani Apio for a flat cost of only $60.
