The Mayfly Man

​Here's the opening number


​
Barnaby May
​was born today.



​A genetic defect means he's growing at a phenomenal rate.

He’ll be out of nappies within the hour.

He'll be hitting puberty come lunch. 

By the time the evening news begins, 
he’ll be more grey-haired than the anchorman - and twice as arthritic. 

And by midnight, he'll have died of old age.

With no known cure, doctors want to use Barnaby for vital research.

But his mother is defiant: 
“If my son’s got only a day to live, he’s not spending it 
in some Dettol-drenched laboratory!” 

She vows to give Barnaby the fullest life possible 
in the time he's been given.

On a rainy Sunday.

In the centre of the universe.

Merthyr Tydfil, South Wales...
