Driving Miss Daisy

Sat 25 Sep 2010

Set in Atlanta, Georgia – deep in America’s south, Alfred Uhry’s Driving Miss Daisy takes us on a leisurely drive from 1948 to 1973.

Since Miss Daisy is becoming a menace behind the wheel, her son Boolie ignores her protests and hires Hoke, an African-American chauffeur.

At first, Daisy wants nothing to do with Hoke as she strongly values her independence. Hoke's methods of gentleness and patience over the years in his ongoing tug-of-war with the temperamental Daisy, finally begins to pay off as eventually she acknowledges his wisdom. But it is only after twenty five years together that they can finally admit to the depth of the trusting friendship they have shared.
