This explorative new adaptation steps outside of how we have typically viewed and experienced the story of Romeo and Juliet. By using inspirations from Dante Alighieri’s Divine Comedy, Call Me By Any Other Name… Just As Sweet examines the role of fate and who gets to love while reimagining the narrative and staking a claim for Queer storytelling.
