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.

Midsummer, a play with songs, is a collaboration between playwright David Greig and singer-songwriter Gordon McIntyre. Produced by the MADC and directed by Chris Gatt, the eagerly anticipated Malta premiere features actors/musicians Chris Dingli and Paul Portelli and actor/singer Maxine Aquilina – together they bring to life the romantic comedy we’ve all been waiting for!

Midsummer is rated 16+ and runs from 24 to 31 July at San Anton Gardens, Attard. Tickets cost €22.
