Series creators Robyn Butler and Wayne Hope finally get their chance to perform in front of the cameras in tonight’s episode of Summer Love.
Marion (Robyn Butler) hires the house to spend a few days alone before her 25 year old son arrives, but when newly-avid cyclist Eddy (Wayne Hope) turns up, they realise the house has been double booked.
Forced to stay together, Marion and Eddy find themselves challenging the behaviours that led to each of their divorces.
Summer Love is an anthology series in which eight very different sets of people rent the same holiday house and encounter some incarnation of love. Summer Love harnesses the collision between the dreamy enchantment of the beach and the clumsy reality of humans on holiday.
Funny and uplifting, the series captures the anonymity, the possibility, the escape that we all feel on vacation – alongside the sunburn and the sand in the sheets. The house, hanging over the ocean, is the portal for love – to be discovered, or recovered, or let go.
