African-American Shakespeare Company to Open 2013-14 Season with DRIVING MISS DAISY, 11/2-17
San Francisco's African-American Shakespeare Company opens its 2013-14 season with a reprisal of Diablo Actors' Ensemble's 2011 production of Alfred Uhry's DRIVING MISS DAISY. Winner of the 1988 Pulitzer Prize, DRIVING MISS DAISY traces the evolving relationship between an elderly Southern Jewish matron and her African-American chauffeur in Atlanta during the mid-20th century. After wrecking yet another car, Daisy Werthan is informed by her son, Boolie, that he has hired a chauffeur for her, a proud, soft-spoken black man named Hoke whom she immediately dislikes and who, in turn, is equally unimpressed with her. As the play progresses over 25 years, the two develop an unlikely bond despite their mutual differences, growing closer to, and more dependent upon, one another.
