Description After becoming America's most prominent opponent of yellow-face casting, playwright David Henry Hwang (Alex Rabina) finds himself in a bind after accidentally casting a white man, Marcus (James Cain), as Asian in his latest play. As David scrambles to cover up his mistake, Marcus embraces his newfound identity - but with anti-Chinese sentiment sweeping the USA, how long can he keep up the ruse and still save face?
