Alfred Uhry’s Pulitzer prize-winning play tells the story of the developing friendship between Daisy Wertham and Hoke Coleburn, beginning in Atlanta, Georgia in 1948. All three characters age 25 years in the course of the play. Southern dialects appropriate to the period required. The Werthams are Atlanta Jews; Hoke Coleburn is Black.
Daisy Wertham (72-97) wealthy widow from a poor background, ladylike, but can be high strung and demanding.
Hoke Coleburn (60-85) working class Black man. Truth-teller, conducts his affairs with grace and integrity.

Gurney’s play is an epistolary romance, starting in the character’s childhoods and ending in their middle age. Taking place in the middle decades of the 20th Century, it delineates the ethos of the American Establishment of that time. Six different casts will perform the play as a staged reading for one week apiece.
Andrew Makepeace Ladd III (30-50) endeavors to be a good man, according to his lights. Eventually, he becomes a Senator.
Melissa Gardner (30-50) an artist, from a wealthy but dysfunctional family.
