Chance to enjoy Little Night Music
Previously staged in the Mill Studio, this production has been extensively reworked for the Main Stage. Featuring a 23-piece orchestra on the stage and songs such as Send In The Clowns, A Weekend In The Country and Every Day A Little Death, the show offers Guildford audiences a rare opportunity to see one of Sondheim’s most amusing and sophisticated works.
Inspired by Ingmar Bergman’s film, Smiles Of A Summer Night, the action takes place in a weekend country house in turn-of-the-century Sweden. The party consists of middle-aged lawyer Fredrik Egerman, his teenage trophy wife Anne, his son Henrik, the intriguing and beautiful actress Desirée Armfeldt, her mother Mme Armfeldt, the ferociously-jealous Count Carl-Magnus and his long-suffering wife Charlotte.
