I cannot make this Sunday's American Conservatory Theater production of Wrong Mountain. "Wrong Mountain, the hysterical Broadway bound comedy has its world premiere" "Wrong Mountain tells the acidly satirical, often surreal tale of a poet forced to confront the harsh reality of his own talent. Henry Dennett has devoted his life to the art of poetry and received little of the literary distinction he believes he deserves. Furiously intelligent and formidably self-important, Dennett sees his lack of public recognition as the hallmark of true artistic genius. At a particularly eventful (and hilariously dysfunctional) Christmas dinner, however, Dennett's ex-wife's fiance-who happens to be a successful Broadway playwright- goads Dennett into lowering himself (in Dennett's opinion) to write for the stage. When his play is selected for development at a summer playwrights festival, Dennett can't help but be pleased by his incipient success. As he journeys with his play from first reading to first production, he discovers the artistic possibilities of a medium he once had scorned, wrestling along the way with professional insecurities, middle-aged sexual fantasies, his confrontational family, flamboyant actors, the transformative properties of lithia water, and a 10-foot, 40-pount parasitic worm. .....
