A man with multiple accusers sits in the White House, while a man who was banned from an Alabama shopping mall for predatory behavior has run for the United States Senate. We are in an interesting cultural moment in the United States as I write this scandals about the abuse of power through sexual manipulation and assault proliferate in social media. The following is Vogel's new author's note for the publication. Mark Brokaw’s fluent staging and a defining light design by Mark McCullough assist the players on an amply spacious stage, which provides the terrain for restaurants and hotel.TCG Books will soon release the first stand-alone version of Paula Vogel's seminal 1997 play How I Learned to Drive ( pre-order here) in which a young woman tells the story of being sexually assaulted by her uncle. Parker provides an expressive range, from the cautious, manipulated teen to a mature but permanently scarred college student. The play is a potent and convincing comment on a taboo subject, and its impact sneaks up on its audience.Īs the trusted family member and aging pedophile, Morse creates a tragic, rather than chilling, figure his cool and casual sincerity is all the more frightening. “Avoid little umbrellas, anything with sugar,” the parent warns, “and any drink which suggests a sexual position, like the Missionary.”
Secondary performers serve as various family members, with Johanna Day offering an amusing dissertation on what drinks young ladies should shun to prevent the advances of older men. She also paints a richly poetic and picturesque landscape, as Li’l Bit describes the exhilaration of “driving past trees, churches and battlefields before the malls took over, and the smell of clover mixing with dashboard leather.”
With subtle humor and teasing erotic encounters, Vogel addresses the dangerous intersections of teenage temptation.
