A 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. This unique production is a collaboration between two renowned Scottish artists: indie rocker Gordon McIntyre of Ballboy fame, and playwright David Greig whose work has been commissioned by the Royal Court Theatre, the Royal National Theatre and the Royal Shakespeare Company to name a few.

“The most ambitious play writing on the Edinburgh Festival Fringe” - The New York Times

**** [4 Stars] “With its gently poignant pop songs and honest humour, it's rough, ready - but still romantic.” - The Globe and Mail
