←Recommendations of Nan

As the startlingly theatrical images begin with the beautiful chanting of Hawaiian language and then pidgin, I am alerted to a very special play. The characters are beautifully drawn and their relationship to each other connected as family and culture are relatable and feel like truth in a way that is wonderfully playable, moving and poignant. I hope to see this staged!

NAN is beautiful in its language and storytelling. A moving depiction of family that shines a light on Native Hawaiian culture, Noa immerses us in a world of love and loss that explores growing up and moving on. Noa writes complex Hawaiian women that we don't get to see represented onstage—and that actors would be fulfilled to play. Despite its specificity, it's a relatable play that will engage and enlighten any audience.

Absolutely beautiful. It captures the themes of loss and understanding so well. It's a unique story that is relevant to so many people.

Man there are not enough words allowed for me here to describe how much I loved this play. Beautiful and tragic and relevant to so many people. Some of the things described in this play are happening right now in the world and I think everyone should read this play. Just stunning.

This play is full of deep, complex bonds that are hard to describe, yet makes the reader feel so connected. The carefulness that the Hawaiian culture is written about makes Nan so special and unique.
