How i learned to drive the play5/23/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Alyssa May Gold, David Morse, Mary-Louise Parker, Johanna Day, Chris Myers Jeremy Daniel We first meet them – Parker’s character narrates from a modern-day perspective recalling events of the 1960s and ’70s – when a 17-year-old Li’l Bit already seems wise beyond her years, and, oddly, in control. We know Parker’s character only by her childhood nickname, Li’l Bit, as if growth, in at least some ways, stopped at 11, the age when the devoted little niece was first groped by her uncle during the first of many private driving lessons.Ī memory play in which the memories jump out in non-chronological – not to say illogical – order, How I Learned To Drive presents Li’l Bit’s encounters with Peck at various points in her pre-college years. Friedman Theatre, stars Parker as a woman looking back on, and struggling to make sense of, her relationship with her abusive Uncle Peck (Morse). How I Learned To Drive, opening tonight in a first-rate Manhattan Theatre Club production at the Samuel J.
