Fiction meets reality in a hilarious farce about race, inspired by true events.
Tony Award winner and three-time Pulitzer finalist David Henry Hwang, known for "M. Butterfly," will debut his comedic exploration, "Yellow Face," at Roundabout Theatre on Broadway. Directed by Tony nominee Leigh Silverman, it navigates themes of identity, showbiz, and potentially autobiographical elements.
Drawing from real events, the play humorously delves into the complexities of race, with a fictionalized doppelgänger protesting yellowface casting in "Miss Saigon" and inadvertently casting a white actor as the Asian lead in his own production.
This Obie Award-winning and Pulitzer finalist offers a hilarious yet thought-provoking take on race dynamics.
