MAYFLIES

York Theatre Royal

Director

 

About the piece

May and Fly are looking for love. Well, May is looking for love. Fly is just looking.

 

Funny, intimate and relatable, Mayflies tells the story of a romantic relationship from its first flourish to its final goodbye. It explores the different versions of themselves that people become during relationships and how – in the blink of an eye – it can all come crashing down.

Three actors alternate the roles of May and Fly, meaning there are three different versions of this show to see.
