Subject: Lolita in Frankfurt
On 18 January 2004,
the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung published Claudia Schülke's review
of the Frankfurt premiere of a drama version of _Lolita_. Florian Fiedler was
the director. The mixed review closes with the statement that "As a fast food
version [of _Lolita_], this production is acceptable. But to those who want to
really enjoy _Lolita_, I recommend [reading] the
novel."
