Miss Daisy motors across”
R. E.M. Lee stage Friday

Driving Miss Daisy, the stage

play by Alfred Uhry best known’

in its cinema: incarnation that

figured prominently. in the 1990.

Oscars, will be on stage in Ter-

race Friday night at the R.E.M. -

Lee Theatre.

It’s a touring version of the

successful and_ critically

acclaimed Arts Club. Theatre:

production from Vancouver,
starring Doris Chilcott as Miss
Daisy, Alvin Sanders as Hoke,
the chauffeur that over 25 years.
develops a warm "partnership"
with her, and Allan ‘Gray as
Boolie, Daisy’s son.

The original stage version of
the play is on a compressed

scope in comparison to the more
familiar film, having a cast of
three and a single set with few
props. Little separates the actors
from the audience. Miss Daisy is

an aging Jewish woman living in
. Atlanta, Georgia, whose son

Boolie forces her to accept the

' fact that she can no longer drive

safely and hires chauffeur Hoke
Coleburn, a black man who
endures Daisy’s racist’ in-
nuendoes with monumental

patience. The storyline covers 25
years, during which the two

characters come to a gradual

~ understanding that in a different

time and place might have blos-
somed into love.

Doris Chilcott is a veteran
actress with the Arts Club whose
background credits include the
role of Ethel in a successful
recent run of On Golden Pond.

‘Alvin Sanders may be remem-

bered by Terrace audiences for
his prominent role in another
Arts Club tour, Ain’t Mis-
behavin’, from two years ago.
Allan Gray has appeared in Arts

Club productions of Bent and

Elephant Man, and has recently
returned to Vancouver after

working the Shaw and Stratford |

festivals.
Tickets for Driving Miss Daisy

‘are available at Erwin’s Jewel-
lers in the Skeena Mall. ,
