1.  What is the effect of the "Voice" that speaks at various points with sentences and phrases drawn from a driver ecucation manual?  What and how do these lines contribute to the play?

2.  Why are all the characters except for Li'l Bit and Peck played by the three "Greek Chorus" members?  How does thier role in the play compare to that of the chorus in Prometheus Bound?  Why does the teenage chorus membr take over Li'l Bit's role on page 56?

3.  The play begins by moving forward in time; we see scenes from 1969, when Li'l Bit is 17 and from 1970.  On page 17, we "Back up to 1968."  On p. 28, we glimpse a scene from 1979 (age 27), and then, on p. 29, we're back to age 15 (1967).  Page 32 continues in 1967, p. 35 takes us to 1966 (age 14).  By page 40, we are in 1965, and on p. 45, we flash back to Christmas 1964 (age 13).  We go forward to 1969 again briefly (pp. 48-55) and then abruptly shift to the earliest scene in the play (pp. 55-58), which takes place in the summer of 1962, when Li'l Bit is 11.  How does this shifting chronology affect the telling of the story?  Why do it this way rather than chronologically from earliest to latest or latest to earliest?

4.  The narrations of the 40-something Li'l Bit frame the drama.  How does her role compare to that of the jailed Gallimard in M. Butterfly?

5.  On pp. 24-25, about half way through the play, we see Uncle Peck interacting with an invisible Cousin Bobby.  What is the point of this scene?  Why is it included?

6.  Who is the protagonist of this play?  Is it a tragedy?

7.  Which (if any) of the various anti-realist dramatic modes does Vogel's play seem to reflect?
