⭐ DRIVING MISS DAISY – 35TH ANNIVERSARY REVIVAL – CAST & CREATIVES ANNOUNCED ⭐
The Barn Theatre in Cirencester has today announced the full cast and creative team for their upcoming revival of Alfred Uhry’s Pulitzer Prize-winning Driving Miss Daisy.
Two-time Olivier Award nominee Susan Tracy will star as Daisy Werthan, with Mensah Bediako (Andor, Much Ado About Nothing) as Hoke Coleburn and John Sackville (Genius: Einstein, The Crown) as Boolie Werthan.
