A revealing backstage comedy from the Tony Award-winning author of M Butterfly, David Henry Hwang. Lauded as “Wickedly funny. . . a brilliant play” by The Hollywood Reporter, YELLOW FACE tells the story of Asian activist and playwright D.H.H. (based on Hwang himself) who mistakenly casts a non-Asian actor in an Asian role in his new play. While resorting to, at times, convoluted solutions to avoid scrutiny from his contemporaries, D.H.H. is ultimately forced to reconsider his concept of his own Asian American identity in the mixed-up melting pot of contemporary America. Part fact, part fiction, provocative yet full of heart, this Obie Award winner mirrors Hwang’s personal struggle with cultural identity, with self-deprecating humor. Broadway star Francis Jue will reprise his award-winning performance as D.H.H.’s immigrant father. In 2008, YELLOW FACE gave Hwang his third Obie Award in Playwriting and made him a third-time finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. Contains mature language.
