A Little Night Music

As Yet Unnamed Theatre Co. presents

Inspired by the Ingmar Bergman film Smiles of a Summer Night, with the universal subject of love, in all its wondrous, humorous and ironic permutations. In 1900 Sweden, middle-aged Fredrik Egerman brings his 18 year-old bride Anne to a play starring his former mistress, Desiree Armfeldt. Soon Frederik and Desiree resume their romance, incurring the wrath of her current lover, a pompous Count.

The situation culminates in a weekend at Desiree's mother's country estate. In attendance are Frederik, Anne, and Henrik, Frederik's son (who is hopelessly in love with Anne), Desiree's illegitimate daughter, The Count and his wife, Charlotte who appear uninvited and the Egerman's lusty maid, Petra. As Madame Armfedlt explains to her granddaughter, the summer night "smiles" three times: first on the young, second on fools, and third on the old. The musical includes the popular song "Send in the Clowns". 2009 Revival on Broadway with Catherine Zeta-Jones, and Angela Lansbury with replacements of Bernadette Peters and Elaine Stritch.
