Fiddler on the okugai — 11 Comments

  1. It made my heart sing . . . As my sister — and amateur actress — i’d:

    “It is HUGE how such a play can translate so well to a completely different culture. I’ll bet they brought the house down.”

    What we need, of course, is a Palestinian Fiddler.

  2. My sister adds:

    “Cultures, other than the nomadic desert ones, are not that different. Nomads are like the Clintons . . . ever have a home of their own, and therefore want to rule the world.”

  3. Yes, I am familiar with the Japanese production. In an odd twist, the Jews hire seven samurai to protect them against pogroms.

  4. Samurai on the roof? If Tom Cruise can be a samurai, Tevye can be Japanese too I suppose.

  5. If Tom Cruise can be a samurai, and Tevya can be Japanese, then anything is possible and I can’t wait for Angels in America on Ice.
