Winner of the 1998 Pulitzer Prize for drama, “How I Learned to Drive” tells the story of a woman who navigates both the rules of the road and the complexities of life from behind the wheel. This poignant, often surprising narrative blends humor and heartbreak, offering a compelling tale of survival through the lens of a troubled relationship between a young girl and her uncle. Nostalgic moments of learning to drive are woven together with hard-hitting lessons about life's darker truths.
This story is told through a woman’s recollections of an inappropriate romantic and sexual relationship she developed with her aunt’s husband during her teenage years, please be aware of the following content notice: This show contains mature themes, including grooming, sexual abuse, power imbalances, and the long-term impact of trauma.
