Driving Miss Daisy, a Pulitzer Prize-winning play by Alfred Uhry, charts a heartwarming yet poignant journey of an unlikely friendship blossoming over two and a half decades. Set in Atlanta, Georgia, the play unfolds between 1948 and 1973.

The play opens with Daisy, a stubborn and proud woman, refusing to relinquish her driving privileges after a minor accident. Her son, Boolie, concerned about her safety, insists on hiring a chauffeur – Hoke Colburn. Initially resistant to the change, Daisy clashes with the easygoing Hoke. However, as Hoke patiently navigates Daisy's world, a remarkable friendship begins to develop.

Over the years, the play explores the evolving dynamic between Daisy and Hoke. We witness Daisy's gradual acceptance of her dependence on Hoke, not just for driving but also for companionship. Hoke, in turn, becomes a confidante and a pillar of support for Daisy, navigating her through personal challenges and the changing social landscape of the Civil Rights era.
