''Driving Miss Daisy'' Production

Guest production by the Tater Patch Players of Jasper, GA.  Driving Miss Daisy is a 1987 play by Alfred Uhry set in mid-century Atlanta.  It tells the story of an elderly Jewish matron, Daisy Werthan, and her chauffeur, Hoke Coleburn.  At first Daisy is less than happy about being forced to quit driving AND 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.  The play is a delicate depicition of racial tensions and of growing old.
