Bye Bye Lolita

Bye Bye Lolita

Based on the novel of the same name by Lea Ruckpaul, adapted for the stage by Lea Ruckpaul and Nora Schlocker

Vladimir Nabokov’s 1955 novel *Lolita* became a bestseller, albeit a controversial one. Since its publication, it has been the subject of heated debates—ranging from allegations of pornography and calls for a publication ban on the one hand, to fascination with its literary finesse on the other. The author viewed his title character—who has since become a figure shrouded in dubious myth—through the eyes of her stepfather. In her successful debut novel,Lea Ruckpaullets Dolores Haze survive and recounts the story of years of abuse in retrospect, with the analytical insight of an adult woman who does not wish to be viewed solely as a victim.
