The project will be directed by Leigh Silverman, who helmed the play's 2007 world premiere.
Film and TV star Daniel Dae Kim will lead an audio production of David Henry Hwang's Yellow Face for Audible Studios. Kim will star as Hwang, with Leigh Silverman returning to direct after helming the work's 2007 world premiere productions.
The semi-autobiographical work follows Hwang as he becomes a major voice in the controversy surrounding white actor Jonathan Pryce's casting in Miss Saigon on Broadway. The playwright pens a satirical play in response to the situation, and then unwittingly casts a white actor in the Asian lead role. The work premiered at Mark Taper Forum in a co-production with East West Players in 2007, and played an Off-Broadway run at The Public the same year.
