Description

Mayfly explores rebirth in the aftermath of tragedy. Mayfly premiered at the Orange Tree Theatre, Richmond, in April 2018, winning Joe White the Off-West End Award for Most Promising Playwright in 2019.

Set in a Shropshire village this tender and wise play is suffused with grief, loss and unexpected laughs in which a family searches for new beginnings.

Ben thinks his family might be better off without him, but his wife Cat has read in her stars: "Today a very special person will appear from out the blue".

Their daughter Loops is getting ready for a date. It’s her first one, and she has everything crossed.
