CLOSING NIGHT
A surprisingly sexy, darkly funny, emotional rollercoaster.
In this light-and-dark comedy, June and her Persian mom Lela travel to a romantic Azorean island one year after their major loss — with opposite ideas about why they’re there, how to grieve, and June’s tiny bikini. Between happy honeymooners, Woman Life Freedom, and a charming surfer, they (and we, the audience) surf the waves of life, loss, flirting... an unforgettable ride.
Honeyjoon is for anyone who lives with loss. For anyone who wants to feel free. For anyone who has tried, and failed, to flirt.
