Midsummer gives romantic comedy a twist

One of the hits of the 2009 Edinburgh Festival, Midsummer (a play with songs) is a quirky, charming love story of a great lost weekend, by leading Scottish playwright David Greig and renowned Edinburgh singer/songwriter Gordon McIntyre.

It's Midsummer's weekend in Edinburgh. It's raining. Two thirtysomethings are sitting in a New Town bar waiting for something to turn up.

He's a failing car salesman on the fringes of the city's underworld and she's a high-powered divorce lawyer with a taste for other people's husbands. She's out of his league and he's not her type at all.

They absolutely should not sleep together...Which is why they do.
