A Little Night Music

Duquesne University Presents A Little Night Music
By Hugh Wheeler
Music by Steven Sondheim
Directed By John E. Lane Jr.

Madame Armfeldt tells the child that the summer night "smiles" three times: first on the young, second on fools, and third on the old. Fredrika vows to watch the smiles occur. Middle-aged Fredrik Egerman is a successful lawyer. He has recently married an 18-year-old trophy wife, Anne, a naive girl who loves Fredrik but is too immature to grasp the concept of marriage. The two have been married for eleven months, but Anne still protects her virginity. Fredrik plots how he might seduce his wife. Meanwhile, his son Henrik, a seminary student a year older than his stepmother, is frustrated and ignored. Anne promises her husband that shortly she will consent to have sex, which leads into all three of them lamenting at once. Anne's maidservant Petra, an experienced and forthright girl, slightly older than the teen herself, offers her worldly but crass advice. -Wikipedia
