Stempenyu is a gifted violinist who plays with his klezmer band at weddings. He is known not only as a player who enchants listeners with his sounds, but also as a heartbreaker.
When he falls in love with the beautiful and married Rachel, the story gets complicated.
Stempenyu’s wife doesn’t intend to give him up for a moment, but the beautiful Rachel also wants him, forever.
Edna Mazya has woven a beautiful and touching play, with colorful characters, all of whom want to fulfill themselves through Stempenyu and his music. A free adaptation of the classic Yiddish novel from 1888 by Sholem Aleichem, one of the greatest Jewish writers.
