Jordan Fein’s (Director) production of FIDDLER ON THE ROOF, originally staged at Regent’sPark Open Air Theatre in 2024 is presented on the Theatre Royal stage with an Australian cast. 

The year is 1905.  The place is New York City. The play is Lynn Nottage’s intimate and surprisingly affective comedy/drama “Intimate Apparel.” “Intimate Apparel” tells a tale drawn from Nottage’s own passed down ancestry stories and perhaps a little imagined history.  The inspiration is a sepia toned photo of a seamstress from the turn of the twentieth-century. The lights come up on Esther Mills (Chioma Anyanwu), a thirty-six-year-old gifted seamstress, who has carved out a niche business for herself designing and creating intimate apparel for a widely diverse customer base.  Esther’s customers represent both the upper crust of New York’s society, the 400, and others who populate the raunchy Tenderloin district and whose less public clientele are the bored husbands of society’s 400.
