Synopsis:

This Pulitzer Prize winning play takes place from 1948 to 1973 mostly in Atlanta, GA.  Driving Miss Daisy is a delicate depiction of racial tension and of growing old.  The characters come to a mutual respect based on their independence, strength and stubborn integrity.  Driving Miss Daisy tells the story of an elderly Jewish matron; Daisy Werthan and her chauffeur Hoke Coleburn.  At first Daisy is none to happy about being forced to relay on a black man.  But Hoke gradually wins her over and during the 25-year span of the play the two develop a deep-rooted affection.
