![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Exquisitely acted by Mary-Louise Parker, David Morse and a three-person ensemble, the play examines the obsessive relationship between a teenage girl known as Li’l Bit and her uncle by marriage, a courtly man named Peck. Vogel’s acclaimed new play, How I Learned to Drive, now at Off-Broadway’s Century Theatre after a sold-out run at the Vineyard Theatre, takes audiences on a journey that is both tender and disturbing, funny and heartbreaking. “When you go through a journey together as an audience, your heart and your spirit become lighter,” playwright Paula Vogel says of theatre at its best. In the below article from June 1997, Vogel and her two stars sound off on creating the play and the audience response to a controversial piece of art. The show starred actors Mary-Louise Parker (prior to her West Wing and Weeds fame) and David Morse, in the delicate, yet profound telling. Inspired by the novel Lolita, Vogel sought to chronicle the relationship between a teen girl and her uncle by marriage. ![]()

The first time Clifford stepped inside his new stadium, the former Penn State quarterback was just happy to be there. He’s a rookie, just drafted in the fifth round, and this is rookie minicamp.

This helps to create a parable replete with suspense, a quality of many well-crafted stories. In The Turn of the Screw by Henry James, the characters withhold much of their interior lives from both one another and from the reader. Above shows a mocking cartoon of Charles Darwin as an ape, demonstrating the difficulty that people who believed in the story of the Bible had in understanding his theory of evolution-a new story entirely. ![]() ![]() James's deliberate obscuring of a definitive reliable narrator parallels the lack of certitude with which people of the 19th century could believe the contradicting stories that science and religion tell. ![]() |
