A dramatisation of Vladimir Nabokov's great novel by the Sony Award-winning playwright Robert Forrest. Published in 1962, Pale Fire ranks alongside James Joyce's Ulysses and Marcel Proust's À La Recherche du Temps Perdu as one of the masterpieces of 20th century fiction.
Pale Fire
Comic, tragic, heartbreaking, Shakespearean in its almost infinite
depth and beauty, it moves between leafy Appalachia and the mysterious
far northern kingdom of Zembla, telling the story of a homely American
poet and his regally demented neighbour.
