Play- Fiddler on the Roof I went on vacation with my parents-in-law and was privileged to see "Fiddler on the Roof" in a playhouse. It was the best play I have ever seen. I loved the characters, and I bonded more with Tevya than any one else, because of his desire to have not only traditions kept, but also to have the best for his daughters. To keep his family close he sacrificed some of his traditions, even though his traditions were important to him. He has an understandable desire for his daughters to be more than he is. The plot is centered around a town that has kept itself secluded from the “main stream” and has many traditions. These traditions make the town it what it is. The plot not only includes the town but Tevya’s family as the plot makes its turns and twists. The town, which has a large Jewish population, is about to be torn in half. And in the end, after the Jewish population is kicked out, the town ceases to exist. This comes through a series of discovery moments and tensions are high.
