Theatre Royal Bath Productions today releases production images for Alfred Uhry’s Driving Miss Daisy, directed by Richard Beecham. The play stars Dame Siân Phillips and Derek Griffiths with Teddy Kempner.  Following previews at Theatre Royal Bath from 6th to 9th September, Driving Miss Daisy is now on UK tour.

Set in Atlanta, Georgia, the story begins one day in 1948 when a prickly, 72-year-old Jewish widow, Daisy Werthan, crashes her car. Deemed too old to drive, her son hires her a chauffeur, an African-American named Hoke Colburn. Daisy and Hoke’s relationship gets off to a rocky start, but as times change across the course of a 25 year backdrop of prejudice, inequality and civil unrest, a profound and life-altering friendship blossoms.

From its landmark Off-Broadway production in 1987 to the remarkable success of the 1989 film version, which was the winner of four Academy Awards including Best Picture, Driving Miss Daisy has touched the hearts of millions worldwide.
