Fiddler very rightly holds a place as one the master works of musical theatre. Set in a time of turmoil it is a deft balance of exquisite music, heartrending life choices and the journey of change.

A gifted embroider of words, Friel combines soft lyricism and hard meaning in his play, a tragical comical historical pastoral on a spree and spoiling for a spirited spar.
