When a white actor is accidentally cast as the lead in his play that strongly protests casting white actors in Asian American roles, Tony Award-winning playwright David Henry Hwang, portrayed by a droll Daniel Dae Kim, has a hard decision to make: Come clean or cover it up. As this production unfolds fast-paced scenes of phone calls, monologues, memories, and kitchen-table conversations, it takes on the serious subjects of cultural appropriation, artistic freedom, and flat-out discrimination. Well-known Asian American actors Ashley Park and Benedict Wong, along with Jason Biggs, lead a talented cast that includes cameos by the likes of Ronan Farrow and Jane Krakowski. This sharp, purposeful, yet very playful "unreliable" memoir is serious satirical fun. B.P. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine [Published: AUGUST 2024]
