U xħin tidħol se tolqtok ir-riħa ta’ nies bħalek. Wasalt oħt, fil-Każin tal-Imqarbin. Hawnhekk id-dinja ta’ barra ma teżistix. L-irġiel jiżfnu. L-irġiel meħlusin. Jitbewsu. Jittantaw ‘il xulxin. U l-irġiel iħobbu ‘l-irġiel. Sakemm darba waħda jasal il-virus. U tieqaf il-mużika. Buy the book Saydon Studio Drama 2026 Luke Saydon Luke is a composer, music director and queer writer.
