for nine Tony Awards, the play` is the final collaboration from the incomparable Jerry
Bock and Sheldon Harnick (Fiddler on the Roof, She Loves Me). The Rothschilds,

DRIVING MISS DAISY
Sponsored by the Belleman Family and Gilbert Rosenthal
Written by Alfred Ahry
Directed by Debra Clinton
Winner of the 1988 Pulitzer Prize and the Outer Critics Circle Award for Best Off-Broadway Play
This warm-hearted, humorous play takes place in
1948 in the Deep South, just prior to the civil rights
movement, and is the affecting study of the unlike-
ly relationship between an aging, crotchety white
Southern lady and a proud, soft-spoken black man.
Driving
Miss Daisy
A thoughtful, unemployed black man named Hoke
is hired to perform chauffeur services for Daisy
Werthan, a rich, sharp-tongued Jewish widow of
seventy-two, who has recently demolished anoth-
er car. Daisy is not pleased with her son’s deci-
sion to hire a chauffeur and immediately regards
Hoke with disdain. Hoke, on the other hand, is
not impressed with his employer's patronizing tone and, he believes, her latent prejudice.
But, in a series of absorbing scenes spanning twenty-five years, the two, despite their mutual
differences, grow ever closer to, and more dependent on, each other, until, eventually, they
become almost a couple.
