Synopsis

Set in Atlanta from the late 1940s to the early 1970s, Driving Miss Daisy follows the evolving relationship between Daisy Werthan, a stubborn Jewish widow, and Hoke Colburn, her patient and dignified chauffeur. As they navigate decades of societal change and personal growth, their bond deepens, revealing mutual respect and affection. This Pulitzer Prize-winning play by Alfred Uhry delicately addresses issues of prejudice and the transformative power of friendship, offering a heartfelt look at the complexities of human relationships.
