About the Play

Set in and around Atlanta, Georgia, from 1948 to 1973, the play tells the story of an elderly Jewish matron, Daisy Werthan, and her chauffeur, Hoke Coleburn. At first Daisy is none too happy about being forced to rely on a black man. But Hoke gradually wins her over, and during the 25-year span of the play the two develop a deep-rooted affection. These two outsiders come to a mutual respect based on their independence, strength, and stubborn integrity.
