Kumu Kahua Theatre finishes is 42nd season with the Hawai`i premiere of David Henry Hwang's Sound and Beauty, two haunting one-act plays performed together in one evening of theatre.

In 'The Sound of a Voice,' a samurai encounters a mysterious woman in a lonely cottage, and begins to suspect her powers are not of this world. In 'The House of Sleeping Beauties,' a modern-day writer seeks out an exclusive brothel where the girls all share a haunting trait.

'Sound and Beauty' was first performed off-Broadway in 1983. Playwright Hwang is the Tony Award-winning author of M. Butterfly and Chinglish.

Show Dates: Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m.: May 30, 31; June 1, 6, 7, 8, 13, 14, 15, 20, 21, 22, 27, 28, 29; and Sundays at 2 p.m.: June 2, 9, 16, 23, 30.
