New Conservatory Theatre Center’s The Book of Mountains and Seas

USA

From the submission:

New Conservatory Theatre Centre’s World premiere of The Book of Mountains and Seas by Yilong Liu and directed by Becca Wolff.  Due to the corona virus, it only got one performance on stage on March 6th before we had to close and sadly that might end up being the only one of this beautiful play about friendship, grief, and cultural and generational divides.

Andrew is in a weird position. His boyfriend Archie’s dad keeps sending him birthday gifts, holiday cards, and even care packages full of Chinese snacks he has never heard of before. Now Archie’s father has shown up on his doorstep with a bizarre request- he wants to retrace all of Archie’s Yelp reviews. Only one little problem: Archie has been kind of dead for two years. What ensues is an adventure filled with clashing cultures, unlikely friendships, and the review of a lifetime.
