DRIVING MISS DAISY at Lyric Rep is worth the drive
LOGAN — The Black Box Theater on the Utah State University campus is an intimate space with room for a few dozen audience members lucky enough to squeeze in alongside the actors viewing Driving Miss Daisy, a gem of a production. Playwright Alfred Urhy sets the play in Atlanta from the late 1940s to the early 1970s. Miss Daisy Werthen (Leslie Brott) is an elderly Jewish Southern woman requiring a chauffeur. Hoke Coleburn (Herb Newsome), an older African American man, is hired and a personal friendship grows even as society deals with prejudice. Driving Miss Daisy won the 1988 Pulitzer Prize and the Outer Critics Circle Award for Best Off-Broadway play. Some patrons will recognize the title from the 1989 film adaptation starring Jessica Tandy and Morgan Freeman, and winner of several Academy Awards- Best Picture, Best Actress (Tandy), Best Makeup, and Best Adapted Screenplay. With such a brilliant pedigree, it might be understandably daunting to produce, but the cast and production team at the Lyric Rep have risen to the occasion and more.
