Hart House Theatre, “Yellow Face”: March 4, 5, 9-12
“Yellow Face” is a play by the celebrated Asian American playwright, David Henry Hwang (‘Hwong’) who has written numerous plays, among them, “F.O.B.” (Fresh Off the Boat), and “M. Butterfly” (made into a movie starring Jeremy Irons and John Lone).
An entertaining and thought-provoking backstage memoir, “Yellow Face” takes on the themes of race, the American dream, the witch hunt of HYH (Henry Y. Hwang) — David Henry Hwang’s wealthy banker father who was falsely accused of money laundering — as well as the trials and actions of other real-life persons like comedienne Margaret Cho and Republican senator/actor Fred Thompson in the Clinton era 1990′s.
