Dear Samuel is a story about intergenerational desire exploring ideas of care and duty through the perspective of a younger man attracted to older men. Inspired by time spent with a group from Hong Kong called Gay and Grey and from Crosse‘s personal experiences, the work uses both narration and song to examine perceptions of an unequal power balance – be it personal or political – and the search for support during moments of vulnerability. Please feel free to sing along.
