“A pungent play of ideas with a big heart. Yellow Face brings to the national discussion about race a sense of humor a mile wide, an even-handed treatment and a hopeful, healing vision of a world that could be” –Variety
“It's about our country, about public image, about face,” says David Henry Hwang about his latest work, a mock documentary that puts…
