An uncomfortably funny and eye-opening look at racism and privilege – because laughing and squirming can go hand in hand.

From award-winning Chinese-New Zealand writer and poet Nathan JoeScenes From a Yellow Peril is less a play and more of a punchy, poetic mixtape of insights that explores the painful ways people are othered, yet refusing to be silenced.

Performed and created by a fresh, fearless ensemble of upcoming Queensland talent, the two-time QLD Matilda Award-winning production (Best Independent Production and Best Ensemble, 2024) offers a razor-sharp, at times darkly funny look at what it means to be of Asian identity in our current political reality; both here and in Aotearoa. 

Presented by QPAC

The Reaction Theory production of Scenes From a Yellow Peril has received majority of support from BIPOC Arts Australia and development assistance from the Wallace Foundation and the Playmarket Playfellows Programme. By arrangement with Playmarket, it premiered as part of Queensland Theatre’s DOOR 3 initiative.
