Synopsis
When faced with lies, sex, betrayal and the return of a familiar face, can the show really go on? Or is a happy ending truly impossible for these star-crossed lovers?
Romeo & Romeo: a queer twist on the well-known Shakespeare tragedy. With Jack (Pirapat Watthanasetsiri) set to direct the Fine Arts facility's annual stage play once again, his ex-boyfriend Dean (Sahaphap Wongratch) is ready to claim both the leading role and his spot back in Jack's heart. Raffy (Tharatorn Jantharaworakarn) is determined to not only rip the coveted role of Romeo from out of Dean's grip, but to finally win Jack's affections for himself. After their initial hookup, Rome (Thanaboon Kiatniran) is stuck on Raffy and accepts Dean's offer to lure him away from Jack. Despite his reservations, dance major Arnold (Way-Ar Sangngern) is willing to join the production once he hears about the cash reward for participation. His best friend and the show's costume designer Tua (Gawin Caskey) is more than willing to pay Arnold's way through if it means getting closer to his long-time crush.
