Morse talked about his Tony-nominated role in How I Learned to Drive, which he is reprising 25 years later, and more!
"For me, in the simplest way to tell it, it's a love story," he says of the play. "A very surprising, ultimately disturbing love story."
"It's so heartbreaking but it's so enlightening too," he said. "It could've been a story about a monster, and it's not. It's about two people who are damaged and one of them giving the other person a gift, the driving lesson, but really way more than that. A gift of how to live in this world and at the same time, leave him and try to heal herself. It's extraordinary."
