"When someone has decided who you are, and they won't let you change their mind, what are you meant to do? Where is left to go?"-Caleb Roehrig, Teach the Torches to Burn
"From Author's Note: "...quite a few queer tragedies have already been written, including ones based on 'Romeo and Juliet,' and i was hesitant to tread that particular ground. I wanted to bring something to the table that was a little more hopeful...I wanted to write 'Romeo and Juliet' as if it had been intended for a young audience. As if, instead of a dire lesson about two impulsive kids who had been failed by an older generation, it was a story of resilience. A story about found family and forged trust and earned, abiding love. A story about queer people snatching happiness from the jaws of a world that has been fashioned against them. A tale as old as time."-Caleb Roehrig, Teach the Torches to Burn
