Sondheim's 1973 musical is based on the Ingmar Bergman film "Smiles of a Summer Night," about an aging actress, Desiree Armfeldt. She finds herself renewing a romance with a married lawyer when she grows tired of her blustering soldier lover, and the lawyer grows impatient with his resistently virginal child-bride. Romantic subplots collide during one eventful weekend in the country.
