A Little Night Music

The critically-acclaimed sell-out Menier Chocolate Factory production of Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheelers musical A Little Night Music, directed by Trevor Nunn, is now playing the Garrick Theatre for a short season. Based on Ingmar Bergmans film Smiles of a Summer Night, the action is set in 19th-century Sweden where affairs of the heart are uppermost in everyones thoughts. Hailed as a witty and stylish celebration of romance the story centres on the elegant actress Desiree Armfeldt and the spiders web of sensuality, intrigue and passion that surrounds her. The show features the classic number, Send in the Clowns, widely considered one of the finest that Sondheim has penned. The cast comprises Jessie Buckley, Kaisa Hammarlund, Alexander Hanson, Maureen Lipman, Kelly Price, Alistair Robins, Gabriel Vick and Hannah Waddingham.
