How I Learned To Drive @ Actor’s Studio Bangsar
Headed over to the Opening Night of the play “How I Learned To Drive” at Actor’s Studio Bangsar. Crowd wise, there wasn’t many people there as when we got in, there was still seats unoccupied.
A Synopsis of the play: Growing up in a family with thin, penetrable personal boundaries, Li’l Bit becomes the victim of an incestuous intimacy – Uncle Peck does not only teach his teenage niece to drive, but sexualises her childhood as well.
Narrated through a series of bittersweet flashbacks, How I Learned to Drive is an honest, coming-of-age account on forgiveness, healing and growth – and how one can find light even from the unhealthiest of relationships.
How I Learned to Drive was first produced in 1997 in New York City and has since been awarded, in addition to the Pulitzer: the Obie, the Drama Desk Award, the New York Drama Critics Award, the Outer Circle Critics Award, and the Lucille Lortel Award.
Featuring Amelia Chen, Johann Lim, Doreen Loo, Davina Goh and Mark Beau de Silva, with Kelvin Wong as Creative Director.
The cast gave some good performance with expression and various scenes nicely portrayed. There was comedy, drama and suspense. The only thing I was not happy with is the lighting of the stage. Maybe the lighting is fixed but quite a few parts, I have problems trying to catch the expression of the characters as the lights are too dim and is away from the cast. Maybe there’s some ways for them to fix this problem before the next show.
