';As I try to come to grips with the lack of control I have in terms of my own visibility and commercial success within the American Theater, I remain convinced that I have control in terms of how I see my identity. How I Learned to Drive gave me that gift. It felt as if the play was rewriting me, and I will always remember the sensation of lightness I had in the middle of the night as I wrote it. This is the gift of theater and of writing: a transubstantiation of pain and secrecy into light, into community, into understanding if not acceptance.' Paula Vogel, from her PrefaceWinner of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, Paula Vogel's How I Learned to Drive is widely recognized as a masterpiece of contemporary drama.
