Does the play actually state it takes place in Sweden. I know that the original movie "Smile on a Summer Night" is done by Ingmar Bergman. Yes the stage production was also meant to be Swedish but one would argue that the movie version of ALNM was moved to Germany. And also the cast has been very multi-culture.
"Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around."
