| A Tevye in a red parka? Sounds crazy, no? But in our little revival of Fiddler on the Roof, you might say our director is trying to scratch out a relevance to today for a musical that is over 50 years old without breaking his neck. It isn't easy. You may ask, why does he try if it's so dangerous? Well, he does because theatre must constantly adapt to survive. And revivals that push the limits are the hallmark of great theatre. Does it always work? Not always. And it may not have today. But why does he do it? That I can tell you in one word. Tradition! It is a tradition in the theatre to break traditions. Without that tradition, our theatre would be as boring as...as...as nothing on the roof! | |
