Driving Miss Daisy at Fredericksburg Theater Company

Winner of the 1988 Pulitzer Prize!From its Off-Broadway production to the success of the Oscar-winning film version, "Driving Miss Daisy" 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. Daisy, a widowed, 72-year-old 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. "Driving Miss Daisy is a total delight." (New York Daily News)
