Lonely Planet by Steven Dietz
In this intimate telling of two men's intertwining stories from the peak of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, map-store-owner Jody and his friend Cody navigate a dangerous and unprecedented world. With Jody retreating inside his shop, and Cody's obsession with a series of mysterious chairs, this compassionate and authentically human play rings as true today as it did in 1993.
