Is this the same novel that the movie, "Mysterious Skin" was based on? The one with Joseph Gordon-Levitt?

If so, I think that could make a really good play. Although, I'd miss Joseph Gordon-Levitt.

Indeed it is, it was adapted to the stage in 2003 and has had productions in LA, San Francisco, Dublin and London.

JGL was AMAZING in the film version, the play is very strong and the impact at the end just as horrifying and powerful.
