Bergman's 1980 television film "From the Life of the Marionettes" centres on a couple named Peter and Katarina, loosely based on the supporting characters of those names in "Scenes from a Marriage". Bergman also wrote the first stage adaptation of "Scenes from a Marriage" for the Residenztheater in Munich in 1981. "Saraband", a quasi-sequel set decades after the original miniseries, aired on Swedish television in 2003. In 2008, a theatrical adaption by Joanna Murray-Smith was performed at the Belgrade Theatre in Coventry, directed by Trevor Nunn and starring Imogen Stubbs and Iain Glen.
