DEAR MR. C
​
Book, Music and Additional Lyrics by Tidtaya Sinutoke
Lyrics by Lily Ali-Oshatz, Naomi Matlow
Directed by Keng S. Meateanuwat
​
A story about love, family, grief, and cancer.
DEAR MR. C, is an intimate, verbatim, indie-pop memoir with a hint of traditional Thai lullaby. It is a memory play that tells the story of a Thai writer who's trying to find peace after one phone call turns her world upside-down.
