As most people know, the story is about Miss Daisy, an aging Atlanta matron, whose son hires her a chauffeur (over her articulate and amusing protests), and how the black chauffeur and the Jewish matron, over a couple of decades, come to be each others' best friends. In part its effectiveness has to do with its theme. Driving Miss Daisy, the production Walter Learning has chosen to open Theater New Brunswick's 31st season, is a smoothly professional telling of a story that affected many members of the small opening night audience profoundly, and others rather less so.
