York theatre company Wharfemede Productions are bringing a Stephen Sondheim classic to the stage next month.
Set in turn-of-the-century Sweden, A Little Night Music explores the tangled web of love, desire, and regret through Sondheim’s signature blend of sophistication, humour, and hauntingly beautiful music – including the timeless classic ‘Send in the Clowns’.
A Little Night Music is at Theatre@41, Monkgate, from Tuesday 24 to Saturday 28 February 2026.
Wharfemede Productions are inviting audiences to experience an evening of charm, laughter, and lyrical brilliance.
“Directing A Little Night Music has long been a dream of mine, and I’m thrilled to bring it to life with such an exceptional company,” said director and Wharfemede Productions co-founder, Helen ‘Bells’ Spencer.
“We’re drawing together an incredible mix of talent from across Yorkshire – particularly from York and Leeds – and the chemistry within this cast is something truly special.
“It was so important to me to have a musical director who not only shares a passion for Sondheim’s music but also understands how to shape the dramatic journey alongside me.
“I am absolutely thrilled to be working with James Ball, whose knowledge, enthusiasm, and expertise in Sondheim’s work are second to none.”
Completing the creative team is choreographer Rachel Higgs and wardrobe mistress Suzanne Perkins.
Tickets for A Little Night Music start from £17 and are available via the Theatre@41 website.
