Photos: Jones Drives Redgrave to West End Wyndham’s

Editorial Staff
London's West End

The West End transfer of Driving Miss Daisy starring Vanessa Redgrave and James Earl Jones opens at the Wyndham’s Theatre on 5 October (previews from 26 September) playing a limited London season until 17 December 2011.

Alfred Uhry‘s Pulitzer Prize-winning play started life Off-Broadway, running for 1,195 performances at New York’s John Houseman Theatre from 1987 to 1990. In 1989, it was adapted into an Oscar-winning film starring Jessica Tandy and Morgan Freeman.

This revival, directed by David Esbjornson, ran at Broadway’s Golden Theatre from on 25 October 2010 to 9 April 2011 and earned Redgrave a Tony nomination. Redgrave and Jones are joined in the cast by their Broadway co-star Boyd Gaines, playing Miss Daisy’s son Boolie.

The show’s producers have today released production photos of the hit Broadway play.
