Britain's What's On Event Guide

The Book of Mountains and Seas

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.
