"This play has so many magical moments that many won't believe that everything in it actually took place," says Omkar Bhatkar, director of Fly On, a new play by Metamorphosis Theatre Inc that premieres next week. In this 75-minute production, the young man wears many hats. Apart from directing, he has fleshed out the script for the piece. And he plays the protagonist. The character he is essaying? Himself.
