Midsummer

A splendid Hudson River estate complete with cook and rose garden. The landscape is inebriating the women are in full passionate bloom and the men are incomprehensible. Susie-chic smart spacey and no longer promiscuous- decides at forty-five to do what she would have done at twenty-five: invite a group of amusing friends to spend eight weekends of summer in stunning surroundings. The invitees include her oldest friend Kay elegantly nursing a broken heart; her former lover Dodge-still the sexiest man she knows; his randy neurotic comedian friend Ron; and Elise an on-the-cusp artist determined to be in a relationship before she hits forty. Add to the mix Susie's very ardent very surprising twenty-four-year-old son and an exhibitionist au pair next door and you have a delicious romantic farce that deftly slides into and out of something quite a bit darker. <br>
