Driving Miss Daisy
by Alfred Uhry
February 15 - 16, 22 - 24
Directed by Nancy N. Johnson
Driving Miss Daisy is the heart-warming tale of an unlikely match between a crotchety
old southern woman and a proud, soft-spoken black man. Winner of the 1988 Pulitzer
Prize, “Daisy” enjoyed a long Off-Broadway run, and we are pleased to be presenting
this show this season. Picture 1948 in the Deep South prior to the civil rights movement.
Daisy Wertham, a rich, spoiled and sharp-tongued Jewish widow, has just wrecked her
car. Her son, Boolie, informs her that she is to now use a chauffeur, and he employs
Hoke, a sweet, thoughtful black man, to do the job. Miss Daisy is not happy with
this arrangement, and Hoke is not pleased with Miss Daisy’ s attitude toward him.
Over time, we see their relationship bloom as Hoke’ s patience and smarts win her
over. In the end, they find that they have more in common than they ever imagined,
and that the era would ever allow them to admit.

together to honor (?) their father at his funeral. Try as they may to be polite and leave their problems tucked away for awhile, it’ s just not to be. The oldest son, Ray-Bud, finds himself in the middle of the family’ s woes, and not too equipped upstairs to handle them himself, if you know what we mean! By the end, after dealing with the crazy antics of his mother, brother, and his spinster sister, Ray-Bud announces to his long-suffering wife Lucille, “When I die, don’ t tell nobody. Just bury me in the backyard and tell everybody I left you!” If you liked Greater Tuna, Dearly Departed will leave you laughing for days!
