THE BOOK OF MOUNTAINS AND SEAS
(3m)
Two years after losing his son, a California dad teams up with the son’s last boyfriend in New York for an impossible mission to visit all the restaurants on the son’s Yelp page, but each with their own agenda. The dad is Chinese. The boyfriend is American. A comic drama about two people dealing with loss, differences, and their unlikely friendship in a digital and global age.
The Book of Mountains and Seas is the winner of 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.
