Flying away is a witty, affectionate queer melodrama about love transcending class, convention, and fear - told with humor, heart, and a wink to old-fashioned theatricality.

Golly gee! This play is the cat's pajamas and then some! It is such a fun and thoughtful love letter to Golden Age Hollywood while still being theatrical. The dialogue is quick and witty, and the characters are just delightful. A staged reading had me laughing out loud throughout. Bravo!

Gee whiz! This play had me rolling and rolling with laughter! As someone who doesn't typically connect with this period and style of play, I was engaged completely and fully in for the ride - a testament to Gill's delightful dialogue, masterful comedic timing, and the ability to sit back and follow the fun! Fantastic work.

Having been fortunate enough to attend a live reading of Flying Away, I was delighted by David Adam Gill’s witty homage to 1930s melodramas. The stylized dialogue, period slang, and larger-than-life characters evoke classic cinema while cleverly poking fun at its conventions. Beneath the absurd premise lies a tightly constructed story with real heart, making this fast-paced comedy as engaging as it is laugh-out-loud funny. A surefire crowd-pleaser, ideal for any short play festival.
