Golde at 15. What could be more appropriate?
(Incidentally, when I did Fiddler in the West End in 2007-8, I would often take Beverley Klein [who played Golde] aside and this conversation would occur:
Al: Hey Bev, just so you know I have… well, I've played the role.
Beverley: Right.
Al: So, ya know, if you ever want to have some loooong, thorough sessions with me, or listen to my 'tips' I am just MORE than happy to help…. because...well, because I've played the role…. when I was fifteen…
Beverley: ...Thanks.
Then we'd laugh and laugh and she'd tell me to go find something in the "barn."
