Set in the 1960s, How I Learned to Drive is a Pulitzer Prize-winning play in which Li'l Bit (Dani Cochrane of Detroit) is the ambivalent and wry narrator of her own memories. In flashbacks of her teenage years, she recounts her inappropriate relationship with her Uncle Peck (Dennis North of Grosse Pointe Farms) that includes taking driving lessons from him. Her stories are told with a remarkable lightness and humor given the subject matter and are illustrated with the help of the ancient convention of the Greek chorus, with Melissa Beckwith (Ferndale), Sarah Burcon (Ann Arbor) and Amy Morrisey (Northville) playing various members of her dysfunctional family and circle of friends. Ultimately, it’s an uplifting story of survival and healing.
Two Muses Theatre Artistic Director, Diane Hill, chose the play because of its humorous and playful handling of a complex and very taboo relationship. “How I Learned to Drive is as funny as it is disturbing,” says Hill. “It’s the kind of theatre experience that our audiences have embraced and enjoyed in the past, including our well-received productions of Next to Normal and last season’s Clybourne Park, both of which also examined controversial subjects and won Pulitzer Prizes for Drama.”
