Fiddler on the Roof - 20 -23rd September
This production is the result of almost 6 months work, and as a Westland High School Community Production, it brings together cast members from Greymouth, Hokitika and Kaniere Primary Schools, and our own Hokitika Community.
Fiddler on the Roof is set in Anatevka in 1905 and is based on a collection of short stories entitled "Tevye and his Daughters" (or "Tevye the Dairyman") and other tales by Sholem Aleichem. The story centres on Tevye, the father of five daughters, and his attempts to maintain his Jewish religious and cultural traditions as outside influences encroach upon the family's lives. He must cope both with the strong-willed actions of his three older daughters, who wish to marry for love – each one's choice of a husband moves further away from the customs of his faith – and with the edict of the Tsar that evicts the Jews from their village.
This is the last musical that Nick Meissel and Tim Shawcross will be doing together, and both Nick and Tim are taking to the stage in this production, with Nick playing Tevye - The Dairyman and Tim playing Lazar Wolf – The Butcher. Nick will soon be leaving Westland High School to take up a drama teacher role at Dunstan High in Alexandra.
This is a beautiful show, it will make you laugh, smile, and even shed the odd tear
The show starts this Wednesday 20th September at 7.00pm, and will run through to Saturday 23rd with a special matinee performance at 1.00pm as well as the evening performance at 7.00pm.
