Drawing on unpublished archival material, this study offers a comprehensive assessment of the importance of theatrical performance in Vladimir Nabokov's thinking and writing. Siggy Frank argues that despite Nabokov's anti-theatrical stance as a drama critic, theatricality is actually at the heart of his own practice as both playwright and novelist.
