About the Story
It excites me when I find the perfect connection between a classic myth and contemporary life—the connection gives both stories such a potent new focus. So I’ve really enjoyed developing this coming-of-age story. It combines the story of getting my driver’s license with the story of watching my son get his with the myth of Daedalus and Icarus. It’s a great delight to let the audience in on the humor lurking in my life, even as it’s paired with the pathos of this myth. An equal delight comes after the telling when I’m talking to audience members, who always want to share their own learning-to- drive tales.
