Synopsis: Set in mid century Atlanta,
Driving Miss Daisy tells the story
of an elderly Jewish matron, Daisy
Werthan, and her chauffeur, Hoke
Coleburn. At first Daisy is none too
happy about being forced to rely
on a black man. But Hoke gradually
wins her over, and during the 25
year span of the play the two develop
a deep-rooted affection and
friendship. Driving Miss Daisy is a
delicate depiction of racial
tensions and of growing old.

-Daisy Werthan – A widow - age 72-97

-Hoke Coleburn – black chauffeur –

-Boolie Werthan - Daisy's son - age 40
