Reviews / Votes
"While most actors do research for a role, Alexandra Silber has gone above, beyond, and below as she follows these characters out of the story of Fiddler on the Roof and into the wider world. Who knew this accomplished actress was an equally accomplished actress was an equally accomplished spinner of tales? Told with skill and depth of emotion, After Anatevka is something quite miraculous." -- Ted Chapin, President of Rodgers & Hammerstein "After Anatevka is a stunning continuation of a tale that has gripped audiences around the globe for decades." -- PsychologiesMore details
