And then the last scene, which brings us up to the present. This is a movement forward. For me, purgation means a forward movement. In Drive , as in many of your plays, music is a crucial element. Music contains a subliminal message that I will never be able to accomplish with words because words always involve the cognitive.
Music speaks directly to the emotions.
So for me as a playwright, music is an important ally. It is also important as a way of saying this was gender in 1960. It has messages about being a man and being a woman. When you listen to the Beach Boys what comes back is a code of the 1960s. Just like disco music brings back the entire culture of the seventies.
