Driving Miss Daisy ran on off-Broadway for a total of 1.299 performances originally staring Dana Ivey as Daisy and Morgan Freeman who later reprised his role in the movie version staring Jessica Tandy and Dan Aykroyd. The movie won four Oscars in 1990; Best Picture, Best Actress - Jessica Tandy, Best Adapted Screenplay - Alfred Uhry, and Best Makeup. This eloquent play by Alfred Uhry is a warm-hearted, humorous and affecting study of the unlikely relationship between an aging, crotchety white Southern Jewish lady and a proud, soft-spoken Black man. The place is the Deep South, the time 1948, just prior to the civil rights movement. Unspoken signs of prejudice are revealed through each character as their relationships develop rn,lllP "• eo|8 ;lazie r and, with time slowly lead to the path of understanding and acceptance...? As Hoke surmises so clearly, ''Things changin', but they ain't change all dat much." The aging Daisy strives to t hold on to her independence, her right to drive, whereas Hoke strives to gain independence, equality and respect. Daisy and Hoke both come to realize they have more in common than they ever believed possible. In rehearsing this piece, the cast and 1 explored the proper protocol of behavior in the South, for blacks and whites, during this period when Martin Luther King's dream, his vision, was taking root in American society. Does Hoke always take his hat off before entering a room? Are Daisy's expectations of Hoke as a chauffeur realistic or signs of prejudice? Or the simple act of Boolie shaking Hoke's hand; would he? What we sometimes take for granted today was not the way of life in Altanta back then. The lessons are still before us, sometime subtle opportunities, to accept the rich gifts that each human being has to offer.
