Driving Miss Daisy
March 20–29, 2015 in the Studio Theatre
A DRAMA
By Alfred Uhry
Having recently demolished another car, Daisy Werthan, a rich, sharp-tongued Jewish widow of 72, is informed by her son, that she must rely on the services of a chauffeur; a thoughtful, unemployed black man, Hoke. Miss Daisy immediately regards him with disdain and in turn he is not impressed with his employer’s patronizing tone and her latent prejudice. A relationship spanning twenty-five years, the two grow ever closer, and more dependent on each other, until, eventually, they become best friends.
