Fan Casting Midsummer (2025 British-Irish Romantic Comedy-Drama Movie)

"Midsummer" is an adaptation of William Shakespeare's classic tale of love, jealousy, and comedic confusion. Set in the summer of 1997 in Dublin, Ireland, the story follows 21-year-old Mia Caloway, who is torn between her love for her boyfriend, Xander Byrne, and preserving her family legacy. Mia's father, who does not approve of Xander's status as an "Irish Commoner," arranges a courtship between her and Damien Worthurst, a young man from an upper-class family. Mia's best friend Elena Vitocotti also faces dilemmas with Damien, who is now pursuing Mia. Mia's brother Peter and his amateur theatre troupe, R-MATC, prepare for a dark comedy adaptation of a story for his grandparents' 50th anniversary celebration. However, the production faces challenges such as the absence of two company members, interference from Peter's uncle and cousins, and the disappearance of a key member. The story explores themes of love, ambition, and familial loyalty, with a comedic and heartfelt reimagining of Shakespeare's classic.
