Driving Miss Daisy
Alfred Uhry’s Pulitzer
Prize-winning play, Driving Miss Daisy, a 2010 hit on Broadway, comes to
television with five-time Tony Award winner and three-time Academy Award®
nominee Angela Lansbury and two-time Tony Award winner and Academy Award®
winner James Earl Jones as Daisy Werthan and Hoke Colburn, respectively. Actor
Boyd Gaines (a four-time Tony Award winner) reprises his Broadway role as
Boolie Werthan.
Directed for the stage by
David Esbjornson, the production was recorded in Australia at the Comedy
Theatre in Melbourne. Uhry’s classic play is a timeless, searing, funny, and
ultimately hopeful meditation on race relations in America, told through the
complex relationship between two of popular culture’s most enduring characters.
When Daisy Werthan, a widowed, 72-year-old Jewish woman living in midcentury
Atlanta, is deemed too old to drive, her son hires Hoke Colburn, an African
American man, to serve as her chauffeur. What begins as a troubled and hostile
pairing, soon blossoms into a profound, life-altering friendship that transcends
all the societal boundaries placed between them. Their iconic tale of pride,
changing times and the transformative power of friendship has warmed the hearts
of millions worldwide. Learn more about the production and performers.
