About the show
Paula Vogel’s Pulitzer Prize-winning masterpiece of the contemporary American theatre is a funny, confronting ‘60s coming-of-age tale that charts a complex, sexually abusive relationship between a young girl and an older man.
With wry humour, Li’l Bit looks back at the driving lessons with her uncle that extended well beyond learning the rules of the road.
Directed by Tasnim Hossain (Yellow Face), this remarkably timely and moving memory play takes us to the heart of a rural Maryland family and shows us the strength of a survivor.
