Midsummer: A Play with Songs
Helena is a divorce lawyer having an unhappy affair with a married man. She drinks too much and feels empty inside. Bob was the golden boy at school who lost his shine as he grew older. His plans of being a writer have come to nothing and now, as his 35th birthday looms, he tells untruths for a living on the fringes of Edinburgh’s criminal fraternity and reads Dostoevsky to cheer himself up. When Helena and Bob meet in a bar, they embark on a weekend of life-changing transformations in which the city of Edinburgh itself is like the ensnaring and liberating Athenian forest of Shakespeare’s play.
MIDSUMMER was first performed at the Traverse Theatre, Edinburgh, on Friday 24 October 2008.
