"Surprising, luminous, and powerful. It will mostl likely find a place in the American canon alongside Uhry's Driving Miss Daisy." —Laurie Winer, Los Angeles Times
A timeless American play, which inspired the Academy Award–winning film, Driving Miss Daisy is a delicate depiction of racial tensions and growing old. Set in Atlanta, Alfred Uhry tells the affecting story of the decades-long relationship between a stubborn Southern matriarch and her compassionate chauffeur. Their iconic tale of pride, changing times, and the transformative power of friendship has warmed the hearts of millions.
"In Driving Miss Daisy, Alfred Uhry has taken familiar material—the growing friendship between a crotchety, aged Southern lady and her black chauffeur - and treated it with renewed sincerity.
—Mel Gussow, New York Times, 1987
"Driving Miss Daisy is a heartwarming tale about the manner in which two people of goodwill cross the deep ravines of cultural borders and come to an understanding and respect for each other."
—Leah Frank, New York Times, 1990
