presents the Australian Premiere of

YELLOW FACE
By David Henry Hwang

Directed by Tasnim Hossain
23 April – 8 May 2021 at Kings Cross Theatre

“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.
