This may be my favorite play that I’ve read all year, and I’ve read a LOT. Fly gives us a deeply personal dive into the shifts and changes that occur when one begins to discover their true gender identity, as well as all of the challenges that come with it. Set against a melting tundra littered with dead whales, the fantastical and abstract action gives us some distance in order to safely explore the traumas of dysphoria for non-binary people. This play taught me how to write in my own language. Can not recommend highly enough.
