Driving Miss Daisy (5/5.0)
Theatre Royal
Saturday 30th March 2013
By: Alfred Uhry
Cast: Angela Lansbury [Miss Daisy Werthan], James Earl Jones [Hoke Coleburn], Boyd Gaines [Boolie Werthan]
A subtly, absorbing production in which every word and gesture counts in the hands of two theatrical stalwarts. Set against the civil rights era of the 50's & 60's Uhry uses the unavoidable truth of old age to illustrate the frailties of prejudice in the characters of an ageing rich Jew and her black chauffeur - perfectly portrayed by Lansbury and Earl Jones, and Gaines as the son who brings them together and represents the fast changing world.
