The 1950s pop music accompanying Li'l Bit's excursion down memory lane cannot drown out the ghosts of her past. Sweet recollections of driving with her beloved uncle intermingle with lessons about the darker sides of life. Balmy evenings are fraught with danger; seductions happen anywhere. Li'l Bit navigates a narrow path between the demands of family and her own sense of right and wrong.
其实我不太明白为什么大家都说这是女权主义文本的
评分权力的悬殊另女性无能为力。谁又不是被连蒙带唬地蒙蔽着,却暗暗地幸福着?别提变态二字。
评分很棒!文本中的女性都是男权社会的产物。最无奈的就是没有人察觉,并习以为常,成为迫害自己的捍卫者。最复杂的就是Peck,很难定性他的行为。或许就像《女性瘾者》说的一样,作为一个恋童癖者,他根本就是一个男孩,卑微、怯弱却又一直无法摆脱自己深层欲望的控制。可悲的是,洛丽塔终究会长大,Herbert却永远还是Herbert。学开车是一场成人礼,Bit从Pussy成了wild cat;而Perk失去驾照,也就完全失去了生活的控制。这种引入古希腊chorus来淡化群众的效果真赞!就像chiaroscuro一样,舞台只剩两柱spotlights,很好地聚焦以突出主角的对立,这才是真正的protagonist vs antagonist!叙事技巧在蒙太奇和意识流和倒叙插叙中玩得真是精彩,人物塑造既复杂又丰满

评分LATW audio: Learning to drive in this play for Lil' Bit is a metaphor for taking control over her life. It's too obvious to ignore. A relationship is never equal when power is involved, even if there's seeming respect and politeness. But be there no misunderstanding, "Who did it to you, uncle Peck? How old were you?" are crystal clues.
