"The Book of Mountains and Seas"
San Francisco, USA - The New Conservatory Theatre Centre champions innovative, high-quality productions & educational theatre experiences for youth, artists, and the queer & allied communities. The Conservatory was set to present the World Premier of “The Book of Mountains and Seas", written by Yilong Liu and directed by Becca Wolff. Due to the corona virus, it only got one performance on stage on March 6th before closing. This might end up being the only one performance of this beautiful play about friendship, grief, and cultural and generational divides. Synopsis: 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. Learn more about NCTC here.
