For those like me, unaware of this very early work, here is
clarification of the title:

Dear Carolyn,

Yes, the play is The Tragedy of Mister Morn, Tragediia gospodina Morna
- not utro - Morna chosen for the English-language pun on
mourning and morning, I think.

yours sincerely,

Thomas

Dear Thomas Karshan,

I was not aware of the oddly titled Nabokov play "Mister
Morn" (Gospodin Utro?), and regret that I won't be in London for your
performance.

with many thanks for an interesting post,
Carolyn Kunin
