THE BOOK OF MOUNTAINS AND SEAS
(3m)
Two years after losing his son, a California dad teams up with his son's last boyfriend in New York on an impossible mission to visit all the restaurants reviewed on his son's Yelp page. When the son passed away, Yelp was the only thing left on his phone. What ensues is an adventure filled with clashing cultures, unlikely friendships, and the review of a lifetime.
The Book of Mountains and Seas is the winner of the Lambda Literary Award, the Kennedy Center's Paul Stephen Lim Playwriting Award, a semifinalist for O'Neill Playwrights Conference, Bay Area Playwrights Festival, and a finalist for The New Harmony Project.
