Call Me By My Cousin’s Name

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.

Running at the Tarragon Theatre Mainspace in the Annex, this thought-provoking and darkly comedic play explores cultural identity, marital expectations, and the quiet rebellions of everyday life. Head to Bridgman Avenue in midtown Toronto for a gripping evening of contemporary theatre. Before or after the show, grab a bite or a drink at one of the many great neighbourhood spots along Dupont Street.
