What I liked

Aditi is a natural storyteller, and the vignettes fit well under the central theme, educating the audience to what we take for granted.

What I didn't like

It’s a good theme. I would like to see additional stories fitting this theme to be tried out in future presentations of this show.

My overall impression

Aditi introduces the theme of women and cars with a feeling that many of us, especially those of us in L.A., can relate to: driving is a hassle.

From there, she shifts to a series of vignettes that link driving to freedom, in countries such as Saudi Arabia where women fought for the right to drive. Or where cars represent a ticket out of marital abuse and the oppression of small villages.
