Midsummer, Soho Theatre

David Greig's delightful play is a feelgood winter warmer

Midsummer: Cora Bissett and Matthew Pidgeon are superb as the mismatched lovers in David Greig's play, set in Edinburgh
David Greig’s delightful Midsummer (a play with songs), opened at the Traverse in Edinburgh in 2008, was revived for last year’s Fringe and now provides a warming tonic for frozen winter nights in London. A knowing, modern romcom about two thirtysomething lost souls from opposite ends of Edinburgh who find each other over the midsummer weekend, it could just as easily serve as a love-letter from the playwright to the city of his birth.
