*********************
Winner of the 1998 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, How I Learned to Drive chronicles the story of a teenage girl, L’il Bit, and her complicated sexual relationship with the husband of her aunt, Uncle Peck. The association that began in L’il Bit’s pre-adolescence continues through her teenage years and the start of college. Using driving lessons as a metaphor, Playwright Paula Vogel somehow manages to weave dark humor and even tenderness amidst the disturbing motifs of pedophilia, incest, and the precarious status of women and girls.
