NEXT PRODUCTION

MARCH 2005

TOWN HALL, HAWICK

based on the short story "Tevye and His Daughters" by Sholom Aleichem. Fiddler on the Roof takes place in Anatevka, a small Jewish village in Russia. Set in 1905, the story revolves around the dairyman Tevye and his attempts to preserve his family's traditions in the face of a changing world. When his eldest daughter, Tzeitel, begs him to let her marry a poor tailor rather than the middle-aged butcher that he has already chosen for her, Tevye must choose between his own daughter's happiness and those beloved traditions that keep the outside world at bay. Meanwhile, there are other forces at work in Anatevka, dangerous forces which threaten to destroy the very life he is trying to preserve.
