Match-making musical
Dairyman Tevye is an old-fashioned father who, like the other fathers in the small village of Anatevka in Tsarist Russia, has raised his children with his wife Golde to uphold the age-old Jewish customs of his ancestors.
Now the time has come to find husbands for his beloved daughters and as tradition dictates, suitable matches must be made.
But this is 1905 and, as the nation teeters on the brink of great upheaval, Tevye is soon to find the young are guided by their hearts not their elders.
All Souls' Amateur Operatic Society next week present Fiddler on the Roof, one of the best-loved stage and screen musicals of all time.
The show opens on Tuesday at The Playhouse, King Cross Street, Halifax, and runs until Saturday (7.15pm).
Ian Moorhouse plays Tevye, with Sheila Spencer as his wife Golde. Songs include If I Were A Rich Man, Matchmaker Matchmaker and Sunrise, Sunset.
Tickets are 11.50 for adults (concessions 10). For details, call the box office: 01422 365998.
