The Eglesfield Musical Society is delighted to present the beloved classic Fiddler on the Roof, performed in the arcadian gardens of the College. This dazzling display of joy, revolution, and community is an exuberant celebration of love and life.
Tevye, a dairy farmer, is an old-fashioned man who finds solace in tradition. Like many fathers in the close-knit community of Anatevka, he has raised his descendants to follow the Jewish customs of his long-gone ancestors. The time has now arrived for him to find husbands worthy of marrying his precious daughters. As tradition has it, he must find the perfect suitable match. But in 1905 Tsarist Russia, this is easier said than done as the country wobbles on thin ice, just one bad incident away from a violent uproar, a new era in which young people listen to their hearts and not their elders…
Fiddler on the Roof has enchanted theatregoers from all around the world since it first premiered on Broadway in 1964. After garnering a whopping nine Tony Awards, it was adapted into a blockbuster film that won an Oscar, and features some of musical theatre’s most memorable songs, including ‘If I Were A Rich Man,’ ‘Matchmaker’ and ‘Sunrise, Sunset.’
We are so excited to present this production to you in an outdoor setting; please come prepared for any weather!
This production is recommended for ages 12+.
Runs from Wednesday 21st May 2025 – Saturday 24th May 2025
