In the Shed, David Henry Hwang's Yellow Face, originally staged by Alex Sims at North London's Park Theatre, will be revived, beginning performances May 5 prior to an official opening May 8, for a run through May 24.

It will take place in a purpose-built arena designed by Jon Bausor, set designer for the London 2012 Paralympic Opening Ceremony.
