Flat Rock Playhouse’s 2015 season continues with the Pulitzer Prize-winning Driving Miss Daisy. Performances are scheduled through this weekend at Playhouse Downtown.
After demolishing yet another car, Daisy Werthan, a 72 year old, wealthy, Jewish woman of Atlanta, Georgia, is forced to rely on the services of a hired chauffer; a thoughtful and good-natured African-American man named Hoke. Despite her rancor at the loss of her independence and initial prejudice toward her new driver, Daisy is able to develop a close, mutually dependent relationship with Hoke spanning 25 years from 1948 to 1972.
Driving Miss Daisy is an evocative tribute to friendship and human dignity. Brilliantly absorbing and tender, this engaging and timeless story demonstrates the healing powers of love and friendship. Both humorous and heartwarming, Driving Miss Daisy will leave you touched and wanting more.
