Can you choose your face?
Yellow Face is the story of a world famous Asian American playwright, a Caucasian actor who gets his big break, and a Chinese American banker living the "Jimmy Stewart life." Written by Tony Award-winning playwright David Henry Hwang (M.Butterfly), Yellow Face explores the complexities, contradictions and comedy of the construct of race.
