Dark Comedy, Storytelling

The Unexpected Mayfly


The Unexpected Mayfly follows a nobody – a man struggling with the search for purpose in his monotonous life. When a delayed performance unwillingly thrusts him into the spotlight, he seizes the opportunity to entertain the audience, not considering the consequences. In this emotional dark comedy we see the hilarious struggles of a man who constantly battles with his own self, often blaming the world around him for these challenges.
