Is it possible to see my presenter notes when Keynote is in play mode? I am presenting over Zoom to a large audience and I just have my laptop.

No, I'm pretty sure that you won't be able to.
On Zoom, you can specify a monitor or window to display. If you had a laptop and a 2nd monitor, then I think you would set up Zoom to display the 2nd monitor and display your speaker notes on the laptop. But since you only have the one laptop monitor … you don't have a way, even ignoring Zoom, to run the presentation and view the notes on your single screen.
Or did I misunderstand your setup?

To show Keynote presenter notes in Zoom using one display, you have to use a bit of a workaround, as Zoom does not have a dedicated tool for this. It works perfectly well and its easy enough to set up, we use this method every day in our presentations on Zoom:
look at this YouTube video which is the best description I have seen of the procedure: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gx1Ysf_eozQ
Thanks. I suspected this. I tried it using an iPad for a 2nd monitor with my speaker notes and it worked great.
I thought of this, but maybe my memory is bad. I was thinking that in Rehearse mode you don’t see the transition effects. I’ll ha to go try it out.
Rehearse SlideShow has exactly the same playback features as Play, which is why we are able to use Rehearse SlideShow in Zoom.
