Driving Miss Daisy

This Pulitzer Prize-winning play by Alfred Uhry details the relationship between an elderly Southern Jewish matron, Daisy Werthan, and her African-American chauffeur, Hoke Coleburn, over the span of several decades beginning in 1948 and ending in 1973. In this delicate depiction of racial tensions and of growing old, Alfred Uhry has created two outsiders who come to a mutual respect based on their independence, strength, and stubborn integrity.
