Driving Miss Daisy

by Alfred Uhrey

November 1st through November 24th

Set in Atlanta, Georgia just after World War II and progressing till the early 1970s, “Driving Miss Daisy” tells the story of Daisy Werthan, a vital, but elderly woman, who is urged to use a chauffeur by her long-suffering son, Boolie after she crashes her car. She refuses, but Boolie hires Hoke Coleburn as her chauffeur anyway. And that begins the battle of wills between this Jewish matriarch and a somewhat younger African American who tries to keep his job while maintaining his dignity.
