Driving Miss Daisy by Alfred Uhry, The Dukes, Lancaster

Production details : Review

Daisy Werthan is 72 years old. Driving is no longer her forté. Boolie Werthan her son, prompted by his insurance company, has decided to employ a chauffeur on his mother's behalf but against her wishes. "I was brought up to do for myself".

When Hoke arrives Daisy makes her feelings known!

From this poor beginning an extraordinary relationship grows.

Set in Atlanta. Georgia between 1948 and 1973 this bitter-sweet comedy is as poignant as it is funny.

It is a play from which an award-winning film was made.
