Synopsis
“Driving Miss Daisy” is set against a backdrop of changing world events between 1948 and 1973. A fiesty Southern widow, Diasy Werthan, and her proud but soft-spoken black chauffeur, Hoke Coleburn, journey from suspicion and mistrust to respect and deep-rooted affection.

The production was directed by Rhys Lovell, the son of Uretta. The show was well attended and well-received by the reviewer. “Daisy” was Players’ third lab production.
