Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: At age 35, petty crook Bob is mired in the belief that life has passed him by and lawyer Helena appears to be on the losing end of a no-win relationship.
The self-loathing pair meet down and dirty and kind of cute in David Greig’s “Midsummer,” City Theatre’s funny and touching season finale. The play with music brings to mind such frisky films as Judd Apatow’s “Knocked Up” and “This Is 40.” Like those movies, “Midsummer” is a rom-com with heart; as live theater, it’s also a wildly inventive showcase for two actor-singer-musicians.
