About Yellow Face: A satirical and semi-autobiographical comedy that follows Asian-American playwright DHH as he protests yellow face casting in the Broadway musical Miss Saigon, only to accidentally cast a white actor as an Asian man in his own play. Meanwhile his father, a banker, gets caught up in the “Chinagate” scandal of 1996.
