Yellow Face | Theatre Talk

Discover YELLOW FACE, playwright David Henry Hwang’s hilarious is-he-or-isn’t-he comedy of identity, show business, and (perhaps) autobiography as it arrives on Broadway. In this video, Roundabout Theatre Company Teaching Artists Ashley St. Juliette and Ryan Kim explore the play's unique structure, the talented artists involved, and its current relevance. Through their discussion, viewers gain insight into artistic choices, social commentary, and emotional depth of YELLOW FACE. About YELLOW FACE: Inspired by real events, the playwright’s fictionalized doppelgänger, played by Daniel Dae Kim, protests yellowface casting in Miss Saigon, only to mistakenly cast a white actor as the Asian lead in his own play. This Obie Award-winning and Pulitzer finalist play is a laugh-out-loud farce about the complexities of race. Leigh Silverman directs.
