Call Me By My Cousin’s Name

Call Me By My Cousin’s Name Written by Anahita Dehbonehie Directed by Mitchell Cushman World Premiere A Tarragon Theatre and Outside The March Co-Production Mainspace February 2 - February 28, 2027 William is an expert on his Persian wife Tara: her mother, her culture, her turn-ons. Yet their marriage is collapsing fast. So he plans one last BIG surprise with the help of his infinitely patient colleague Shahriar - who is desperate for a favour of his own. But when Tara’s estranged cousin arrives at the door, both women must figure out how to step over the threshold into brave new possibilities. And not just to escape William’s soggy shrimp. Anahita Dehbonehie’s riotous Diaspora Gothic play is a thrilling exploration of life right now in Iran, life right now here, and the space between who we roleplay and who we long to be—with a shattering immersive climax. “Outside The March is one of Toronto’s top immersive companies.” –The Toronto Star
