LOLA Comes to Vault Festival
Lola by H.L. Nixon, directed by Melissa Dunne, and presented by Papercut Theatre, comes to VAULT Festival 2019 starring Gemma Barnett, Joanne Ferguson and Rob Ostlere.
Sixty years after Nabokov's Lolita,meet Lola. She's eighteen, full of rage and has extremely large breasts. This time our leading lady won't be silenced.
In her debut play H.L Nixon explores the feminine form and the prejudices and assumptions that society places on women. With the male gaze acting as a constant din in the background that threatens to overwhelm her, Lola takes drastic action.Lola's act of violence will leave you asking; what do we do with unwanted attention? What does it feel like to strike back? And why don't we do it more often?
