The relationship between Miss Daisy, a stubborn elderly Southern woman of priviledge and Hoke, her loyal and patient chauffeur, makes this one of the best dramas of all time. This is a play of wonderful spirited characters, people who demopnstrate sassiness, independence, tolerance, admiration and eventually, respect for one another.

It begins when Miss Daisy (Debra Lawrance - Home & Away, Steel Magnolia's) crashes her car and her son, Boolie (Tamblyn Lord - Explorations Macbeth, Summer of the Aliens), a pompous banker type, declares she absolutly could not drive anymore. So he hires Hoke (Brian Davidson - Of Mice & Men, The Miracle of the Rose) an African-American chauffeur for her. At first, all the old Southern prejudices come into play, prejudices of class, race, and education but gradually the wisdom and quiet patience of Hoke wins her over.
