THE WEDDING JESTER

By John Feffer

October 2 – 5

THE WEDDING JESTER takes place In 1970, in a small village somewhere in Croatia. A stand-up comedian confronts the director of Fiddler on the Roof over errors in the film’s script.

In a former life, the comedian was a badkhen, a jester who served as the emcee at Jewish weddings, and he’s familiar with shtetl life in ways that Fiddler’s non-Jewish director couldn’t possibly know.

From the pen of one of the most audacious, salacious, and extraordinary composers ever to live (whose life was so fantastical that multiple operas were composed about it), comes this 17th century version of the biblical Salome story.
