Starring:
James Earl Jones and Vanessa Regrave
Closed 17 December 2011 - two of the world's greatest living actors arrived in London to perform Alfred Uhry's timeless Pulitzer Prize-winning classic, in a strictly limited season. For 12 weeks only, the Wyndham's Theatre will light up with the extraordinary talents of the legendary Oscar® and Tony® Award-winner Vanessa Redgrave and the incomparable, Tony® Award-winning and Oscar®-nominated James Earl Jones.
Also starring four-time Tony® Award-winner Boyd Gaines, David Esbjornson's acclaimed, smash-hit production has dazzled audiences and critics alike on Broadway.
Inspiration for the much-loved Oscar-winning smash-hit movie, Driving Miss Daisy is the charming, poignant and utterly compelling tale of the unlikely, long-lasting friendship that blossoms between a prickly, elderly Southern matriarch and her kind-hearted chauffeur, Hoke. As the wheels turn and the decades roll by against a backdrop of prejudice, inequality and civil unrest, the pair slowly transcend their differences and ultimately grow to rely on each other far more than either of them ever expected. Sparklingly funny, irresistibly heart-warming and with an unmissable stellar cast, Driving Miss Daisy is the must-see show of 2011.
