Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, Driving Miss Daisy is a heartwarming play set in the Deep South starting in 1948. When 72-year-old Daisy Werthan, a sharp-witted Jewish widow, is forced to accept a chauffeur- Hoke, a thoughtful Black man- the two form an unlikely bond. Over 25 years, their relationship evolves from tense employer-employee to deep friendship, exploring themes of race, class, and aging. This beloved story also inspired the Oscar-winning film starring Morgan Freeman and Jessica Tandy.
Come see Morgantown’s production of Driving Miss Daisy at the Gladys Davis Theatre June 24-29!
