Sondheim’s 1973 musical, based on the Ingmar Bergman film Smiles of a Summer Night. Glamorous actress Desiree and successful lawyer Frederik were once close but it didn’t work out. 13 years on and Frederik’s married to a naive woman less than half his age while Desiree’s wasting her time in an affair with egotistical dragoon Count Malcolm.

A chance meeting between Desiree and Frederik and all of a sudden things become complicated. Perhaps a weekend at the country residence of Desiree’s severe mother along with Frederik’s son from his first marriage, the soldier’s long suffering wife and a collection of amorous maid and manservants will help simplify matters?
