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.
THE WEDDING JESTER traces the history of Jewish comedy from the weddings of the old country to the Borscht Belt. It challenges our notions of authenticity and of what is “too Jewish” or “not Jewish enough.” And it does what any good badkhen must do—it makes audiences laugh and cry.
