| Summary |
A family drama exploring grief and emotional rebirth in the aftermath of tragedy. Set in rural Shropshire, over a single day in the month of May (reflecting the brief but dramatic lifecycle of the mayfly). It begins with Ben being saved from drowning by a younger man, Harry in what it transpires was an ineffectual suicide attempt. Ben returns home to his family: to his daughter Loops, today exchanging her usual camouflage attire for her mother's red dress in preparation for a date; and to his wife, Cat, who, though consumed with grief for her dead son, has been awakened to new possibilities by reading her stars: "Today a very special person will appear from out the blue" |
