An uncomfortable, playful and enlightening provocation on racism and privilege from Aotearoa.

From award-winning Chinese-New Zealand writer and poet Nathan Joe, Scenes from a Yellow Peril is less a play, more a series of insights, that, when taken together, expose the pain of the way in which some people are othered but whose experience will not be denied.

“Heartbreakingly personal, gloriously queer, furiously political and unexpectedly funny, Nathan Joe’s writing is devastatingly acute in its observation of the East-Asian New Zealand experience. I invite you to listen to Nathan; his is a vital voice we need to hear.”

Jonathan Bielski
