MIDSUMMER

29/1/10, Soho

Very funny, tremendously energetic piece written by David Greig for the Traverse at the Edinburgh Festival last year. We couldn't get tickets.

It's a two-hander about a pair of 30-somethings who meet up in a bar, have wild sex, and then pursue a series of picaresque adventures the following day, including a disastrous wedding and a drunken spree as they try to spend a large sum of money.

I missed the first 30 mins, so don't feel qualified to judge. But what I saw I thought was wonderful, rollicking stuff. The ladies thought it great as well.

Here are some reviews:
