A biting and funny new play about race and identity in America by Tony
Award-winner David Henry Hwang will have its world premiere as the final
production of the Taper's 40th Season. Hwang writes himself into the
middle of his play, which is launched with the backstage revelations of
an earlier play he had written that flopped infamously on Broadway. It
appears that a white actor had been unknowingly cast in the role of an
Asian, which is especially embarrassing for Hwang who had led the Asian
American uproar when a Welsh actor was cast as a Eurasian in the 1991
Broadway opening of Miss Saigon.
