Set to a lo-fi pop musical, Midsummer delves into the meeting of Bob and Helena at a classy Edinburgh bar. Bob, played by Ben Prendergast (Offspring, Winners & Losers), is a wandering divorcee whose exploits include petty crime and not being able to hold down a relationship. Ella Caldwell (Stop.Rewind, Oh Well Never Mind Bye) gives voice to Helena, a successful divorce lawyer with an affinity for other women’s men. Obviously they shouldn’t sleep together, but how else would the story unfold?
Following their imminent one-night stand, the pair find themselves with money that isn’t theirs and a willingness to spend it. Directed by John Kachoyan, whose has a large credential (La Dispute, The Captive, His Greatness), the musical is sure to be a thrill.
