The Book Of Mountains and Seas

Pleasance Courtyard (Beneath)

Wednesday 31st July – Sunday 25th August 2024 (not 5th, 12th, 19th)

Book Tickets

13:05

14+ (Guideline) This show contains scenes of violence.

In this new play from award-winning writer Yilong Liu, a California dad teams up with his late son’s last boyfriend to propose an impossible mission: visit all 179 restaurants reviewed on his son’s popular Yelp page in one weekend. What ensues is an adventure through New York filled with clashing cultures, unlikely friendships, and the review of a lifetime. The Book of Mountains and Seas is a comedic and moving drama about enduring loss, lasting love, and finding the best Chungking beef noodle soup in New York.

The Book of Mountains and Seas explores the complicated relationships between fathers and sons, while also unpicking areas including identity, heritage, generational divides and the sacrifices we make for family.

Heartbreaking and hysterical, The Book of Mountains and Seas will have you leaving a review next time you go to a restaurant, and reaching out to your loved ones.

       

This moving play is winner of the Lambda Literary Award, the Kennedy Center’s Paul Stephen Lim Playwriting Award, a semi-finalist for O’Neill Playwrights Conference, Bay Area Playwrights Festival, and a finalist for The New Harmony Project.

Yilong is a Lila Acheson Wallace American playwriting fellow at The Juilliard School. He grew up in China and lives in New York City. He is a Core Writer at Playwrights’ Center and has developed work with Ojai Playwrights Conference, EST/Youngblood, Kennedy Center, Space on Ryder Farm, among others.
