    To read a Morey Norkin play is to be entertained by the unconventional, the inventive and the hugely entertaining. The scenario is something which may not be too far in the future; but the innate relationship which builds between the passenger and attendant may not be ready for a few years - but it is so well realised that you shouldn't be too sure!!!! Wonderful!

    A few years ago this would have been pure sci-fi, but with each passing day a scenario like this comes closer to reality. Is it wrong to be rooting for these two to get together? Morey Norkin’s delightful Flight of Fancy gives us plenty of laughs but also a lot to think about.

    Morey Norkin provides every sci-fi geek his dream flight - complete with a robotic companion straight out of one of Isaac Asimov's novels. Funny, charming and interesting - FLIGHT OF FANCY is a blast to read and I would absolutely love to see it staged! Loved it!
