Winner of the 1988 Pulitzer Prize for Drama.
Starring Alison Fraser, Bernard Dotson and Abe Goldfarb.
The Pulitzer Prize and Academy Award-winning drama Driving Miss Daisy is a heartwarming and humorous journey through an unlikely friendship that transcends race, class, and time. Set in the Deep South of 1948—on the cusp of the Civil Rights movement—this beloved play follows the fiercely independent Miss Daisy Werthan, a sharp-tongued Jewish widow, and Hoke Colburn, a patient and dignified Black chauffeur, as they navigate 25 years of change, challenge, and companionship. What begins as a reluctant arrangement soon blossoms into a deep and enduring bond, proving that understanding and kindness can bridge even the widest divides. Poignant, funny, and profoundly moving, Driving Miss Daisy is a touching and timeless story of human connection.
