Dear Nabokovians,

There will be a rehearsed reading of The Tragedy of Mister Morn, translated by myself and Anastasia Tolstoy, at the Red Bull Theatre in Greenwich Village, New York, this
Monday December 9th; I'll be speaking afterwards.

I understand that the director and actors are very highly regarded in the New York theatre scene, and although this is not a full production, it looks as if it will be the nearest
thing to it.

For anyone who doesn't know, The Tragedy of Mister Morn is a five-act Shakespearean tragedy about revolution, which Nabokov wrote in the winter of 1923-4. It was not published in
his own lifetime, and the Russian text appeared only in 1997; and our translation in 2011/2.

Here is the wikipedia entry, and the review of the translation in the New York Times:
