Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, Driving Miss Daisy is a timeless tale of unlikely friendship, dignity, and the passage of time. When 72-year-old Daisy Werthan, a sharp-witted Jewish widow in 1948 Atlanta, crashes her car, her son hires Hoke Colburn, a thoughtful and patient Black chauffeur, to drive her. What begins as a contentious employer-employee relationship slowly transforms into a profound and enduring bond. Set against the backdrop of a changing American South, this quietly powerful play explores issues of race, aging, and identity with warmth, humor, and grace. At its heart, Driving Miss Daisy is a poignant reminder that friendship can bloom in the most unexpected places.
