*Synopsis:*

This Pulitzer Prize winning play takes place from 1948 to 1973 mostly in 
Atlanta, GA.  Driving Miss Daisy is a delicate depiction of racial 
tension and of growing old.  The characters come to a mutual respect 
based on their independence, strength and stubborn integrity.  Driving 
Miss Daisy tells the story of an elderly Jewish matron; Daisy Werthan 
and her chauffeur Hoke Coleburn.  At first Daisy is none to happy about 
being forced to relay on a black man.  But Hoke gradually wins her over 
and during the 25-year span of the play the two develop a deep-rooted 
affection.
