Driver's Survival Guide.
In 1998, Paula Vogel won a Pulitzer Prize -- and just about every other playwriting award going -- for How I Learned to Drive. Vogel's protagonist, Li'l Bit, is just 11 years old when her Uncle Peck, the only father that she has ever known, starts to molest her. This subtle, unsentimental script examines the dangerous intersection between adult approval and seduction. Overdrive Productions' interpretation of the play wowed audiences at last year's Vancouver Fringe Festival, and the company is remounting that staging from Wednesday (May 25) until June 5 at Perforamance Works. Don't miss Allan Morgan as the confused uncle and Eileen Barrett, who delivers a luminous performance as his much stronger neice.
