Midsummer

Midsummer´s weekend in Edinburgh. It´s raining. Bob´s a failing car salesman on the fringes of the city´s underworld. Helena´s a high-powered divorce lawyer with a taste for other people´s husbands. She´s totally out of his league; he´s not her type at all. They absolutely should not sleep together. Which is, of course, why they do. "Midsummer" is the story of a great lost weekend of bridge-burning, car chases, wedding bust-ups, bondage miscalculations, midnight trysts and self-loathing hangovers. A collaboration between playwright David Greig and singer-songwriter Gordon McIntyre, "Midsummer" opened at the Traverse Theatre in October 2008 and was revived for an international tour in the summer of 2009.
