Synopsis

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, How I Learned to Drive is a wry, poetic tale of survival when innocent driving lessons between L'il Bit and her Uncle Peck turn into something much darker. The New York Times says, “One of the most discomfiting love stories to emerge from the American theater…even sadder, funnier and more perceptive now.” Adult themes and situations. For age 16 and older.
