Fiddler on the Roof, Menier Chocolate Factory

Posted on December 6, 2018 by mkmswain

There’s a welcome alternative to panto hijinks in this gem of a Trevor Nunn musical revival – more attuned to the biting hardships of winter, and to the elegiac aspect of change, than to festive jollies. Which is not to say that there … Continue reading →
