“Make your own change. It’s all out there and once you start putting the pieces together, you can create the future.” In the third episode of our Artists on the Cape Series, Susan talks with actor, director, and playwright David Drake about his trajectory as an artist and activist, how he came to understand his part in the larger picture by witnessing the events unfolding around him during the AIDS crisis, how that inspired him to write his acclaimed play The Night Larry Kramer Kissed Me, and how he uses his art and the theatre to hold up a mirror to the audience with the deep intention to teach us and bring us together. He also talks about his vision for a better world and the work that needs to happen now as we continue to move forward and create the future we want to see.
