passion for giving voice to powerful women of Hawaii’s past. She explains how
she goes about structuring a play and mentions that she feels exposed when
actors take on her script at rehearsal: “Something that was inside your head
is now out there. I always feel like, oh my God, my underwear is hanging on
the line and everybody’s looking at it.”
