Synopsis:
The place is the Deep South, the time 1948, just prior to the civil rights
movement. Having recently demolished another car, Daisy Werthan, a rich,
sharp-tongued Jewish widow of seventy-two, is informed by her son, Boolie,
that henceforth she must rely on the services of a chauffeur. The person he
hires for the job is a thoughtful, unemployed black man, Hoke, whom Miss
Daisy immediately regards with disdain and who, in turn, is not impressed
with his employer's patronizing tone and, he believes, her latent
prejudice. But, in a series of absorbing scenes spanning twenty-five years,
the two, despite their mutual differences, grow ever closer to, and more
dependent on, each other, until, eventually, they become almost a couple.

Winner of the 1988 Pulitzer Prize and the Outer Critics Circle Award for
Best Off-Broadway Play. A warm-hearted, humorous and affecting study of the
unlikely relationship between an aging, crotchety white Southern lady, and
a proud, soft-spoken black man.  A long-run Off-Broadway success and an
Academy Award-winning film. "The play is sweet without being mawkish,
ameliorative, without being sanctimonious." —NY Times. "…a perfectly poised
and shaped miniature on the odd-couple theme." —NY Post. "Playwrights
Horizons has a winner in this one…gives off a warm glow of humane
affirmation." —Variety. "DRIVING MISS DAISY is a total delight." —NY Daily
News.
