Midsummer

Two strangers. Two days. One ridiculously large wad of money. This is the unmissable Midsummer!

After it's sell out debut in Edinburgh on the Traverse Theatre stage in 2009, David Greig and Gordon McIntyre's story about love and lack of it has left a trail of laughter through the Uk, USA and now Australia. La Boite Theatre is proud to introduce this smash hit to Brisbane with the original Edinburgh cast in tow.

The play follows Bob and Helena through two hangover fuelled days of rebellion and hedonism. The two are plagued by the discontents of life and love, and see only one sure fire way of escaping the drown of day to day life for an evening: by jumping into bed with each other. Little do they realised that once the shoes are back on, they will be thrown into an adventure filled with car chases, vengeful gangsters, Japanese rope bondage and song sining .

If you are not a Broadway fan, do not fear. The songs, written by McIntyre, lead guitarist of the Scottish band Ballboy, are each modern, whimsical and quirky acoustic masterpieces that accompany the story momentarily to offer a treat for the ears and even more laughter. The Roundhouse Theatre is a perfect performance space for this play, as it's size and structure allows the audience an intimate view into Bob and Helena's world, whether they are prepared to be pulled in or not.

Don't miss this play on love. It's sure to sell fast. Grab your tickets fast!
