Product Description The 1950s pop music accompanying Li'l Bit's excursion down memory lane cannot drown out the ghosts of her past. Sweet recollections of driving with her beloved uncle intermingle with lessons about the darker sides of life. Balmy evenings are fraught with danger; seductions happen anywhere. Li'l Bit navigates a narrow path between the demands of family and her own sense of right and wrong. | ||

This lives up to the Pulitzer. I saw this years ago and when I was looking for something unique and powerful to direct I ordered this script. I wasn't disappointed. Peck is one of the most fabulous roles a guy could ever hope for. Lil Bit is every bit as challenging part. The staging and approach of this play are far from standard and make for the opportunity for a theater to break from their normal run of box sets and standard play structure. A very worthwhile read. | ||
no issues, exactly what I would expect the product showed up on time, in good condition. I had no problems with the transaction at all. it was perfect. | ||
Very disturbing. "How I Learned to Drive" is very modern in its presentation, but enormously unnerving. Its use of a Greek chorus and minimal stage props just adds to the eeriness and vulgarity of the story. What is scary and truthful about this play is that in some families, occurrences like this may be happening. The character of Peck will give you goose bumps. I recommend. | ||
Great. I guess you could say this play is about the complexity of human-ness. If you enjoy great, complicated characters (like the real people around you) see this play or buy this recording. Does Uncle Peck remind anyone of Bill Clinton? | ||
How I Learned to LOVE this play. I just went to see my university production of this play, and so I decided to get the book, because it brought out so many emotions many of us have never felt before. This book is so moving and heart wrenching. Lil Bit takes you on an adventure that is so real and so scary, that you can't put the book down. If you get the chance, don't waste it on any other play. This is THE PLAY to read. | ||
