Sweet Nothings at the Young Vic

Event: Sweet Nothings
Date: March 1st until April 10th

The power of sexual longing and the vulnerability of those in love is beautifully summed up in Arthur Schnitzler's Sweet Nothings.

A young man is taken in by the stunning beauty and seductive charm of a married woman.

Caught in the moment, he enjoys a passionate affair with the mysterious lady, ignoring the fact that she is married.

When the dust settles and he starts to think, he becomes consumed by guilt and fear, worried about the prospect of her husband challenging him to a duel and killing him.

At a party, the young lothario flirts with another girl, believing he has escaped the wrath of the husband whose wife he had spent the night with.

However, his happiness is short lived when the doorbell rings and the wronged man enters the room.

This beautifully-written look at the power of sex and love will draw theatre lovers from near and far to the capital and those travelling from outside the city will need somewhere to stay.

That place is the luxury London hotel the 41, which is just a short eight-minute journey from the Young Vic.

Before heading out to the theatre, guests can sit down to a sumptuous three-course table d'hote dinner in the magnificent Library restaurant, courtesy of the Get More From Your Stay package.

If a bottle of Champagne is more to one's liking, visitors can enjoy a fine bottle of Laurent Perrier instead, while other options include a romantic turndown including chocolate-dipped strawberries, Champagne afternoon tea for two and a late checkout until 18:00 GMT.
