'The mayfly hatches in the morning, mates in the afternoon, dies at night: a lot can happen in a day.' Ben thinks his family might be better off without him, but his wife Cat has read 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. An ethereal family drama, Joe White's debut play Mayfly explores rebirth in the aftermath of tragedy. It premiered at the Orange Tree Theatre, Richmond, in April 2018, winning Joe White the Off-West End Award for Most Promising Playwright in 2019.
