YELLOW FACE
Event description
YELLOW FACE
By David Henry Hwang
An Australian premiere presented by Dinosaurus Productions
Directed by Tasnim Hossain
“Wickedly funny... The beauty of Yellow Face is anything but skin deep.”
★★★★ - The Guardian
It's 1990, and famous playwright DHH is a hero of the Asian community after taking a stand against the use of yellow face in an upcoming Broadway musical. But when he accidentally casts a white man as the Asian lead in his new play, he rushes to cover up his mistake. Blurring the lines between fiction and reality, with a cast of over 70 characters, this oh so timely, semi-biographical comedy is an energetic examination of cultural identity in the western world. How much of it do we put on for show and how much is truly who we are?
With a diverse team of exciting emerging artists tackling this Obie award-winning, Pulitzer-nominated play, Dinosaurus is thrilled to bring you a thought-provoking satire that has never been more relevant.
