Driving Miss Daisy – The Play

This special cinema event will feature a production of the  comedy-drama play, Driving Miss Daisy.  The critically-acclaimed production, which was filmed at The Comedy Theatre, Melbourne in 2013, is  based on the Pulitzer Prize winning play and an Academy Award winning film.

The play stars two of the world’s greatest living actors. Dame Angela Lansbury herself has won many awards in a career which started in the 1940s and has included films, musicals and of course the long-running television series, ‘Murder, She Wrote’.  Her co-star,  James Earl Jones,  is also an accomplished and versatile actor, whose award-winning career spans more than 60 years.

Driving Miss Daisy: The Play tells the story of the relationship over several decades between a Southern matriarch and her chauffeur. The play has been seen by millions of theatregoers worldwide, who have warmed to its story of pride, changing times and friendship.
