A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC at EAST WEST PLAYERS

One of Broadway?s most neglected masterpieces, the romantic and achingly beautiful ?A Little Night Music? deals with the universal subject of love, in all its wondrous, humorous and ironic permutations. BRBRIn turn-of-the-century Sweden, middle-aged Fredrik Egerman brings his 18-year-old bride Anne to a play starring his former mistress, Desirée Armfeldt. Soon, Fredrik and Desirée resume their romance, incurring the wrath of her current lover, a pompous Count. The situation culminates in a weekend at a country estate, with Fredrik, Anne, Desirée and the Count in attendance, as well as Fredrik?s son (who is hopelessly in love with Anne), Desirée?s illegitimate daughter, the Count?s manic-depressive wife and the Egerman?s lusty maid. And there, under the summer night, things are set to right.
