A good script is a good script. 'Driving Miss Daisy' stands as it is. The author's intentions are clear and the story pretty much tells itself. |
But race is not the only theme in the play. It's also about dignity, about growing old, about living your life with integrity. Those are big themes, but they are so much a part of the story that you don't really think of them as themes. |
It feels so real, so honest. The author knew these people. Their stories unfold naturally. |
When I first went over the script, I said to myself, 'Let the work appear for itself. I hope it will and I hope it will give audiences yet another memorable version of 'Driving Miss Daisy. |
