WHEN MIDNIGHT STRIKES A Musical in 1 act. Book by Kevin Hammond. Lyrics by Kevin Hammon. Music by Charles Miller Finborough Theatre, London - Opened 5th September, 2007 – Closed 29th September , 2007 (season) SYNOPSIS New York, New Year’s Eve 1999 – the dawn of a new millennium - and Jennifer West’s intimate dinner party for close friends and family begins to fall apart upon the discovery that her husband has been having an affair. As the hosts confront their unravelling marriage, new resolutions, past mistakes, and an uncertain future merge into an explosive and life-altering evening. When Midnight Strikes gives a remarkably accurate sense of the brittle gaiety of a New Year party, with all the tensions so often seething beneath the surface.
