Driving Lessens
by Ally Lardner
“
A clever, in-charge character piece exploring a particular type of East Coast neurosis. Lardner does not let any one aspect of these characters dominate their personalities; she wants something real. And what we can only start to recognize is this play's confidence as a period piece, a portrait of the oldest Gen Z-ers, and its real interest in their problems.

a smart and sensitive period piece, told through the lens of two high school seniors. a great vehicle for two actors (see what I did there?)!
