Review/Comment
An elderly Jewish widow living in Atlanta can no longer drive. Her son insists she allow him to hire a driver, which in the 1950s meant a black man. She resists any change in her life but, Hoke, the driver is hired by her son. She refuses to allow him to drive her anywhere at first, but Hoke slowly wins her over with his native good graces. The movie is directly taken from a stage play and does show it. It covers over twenty years of the pair's life together as they slowly build a relationship that transcends their differences.

Having served as foreman on a jury a few years back I was excited to see this play. It's a great character study, exciting to have 12 men in one room all talking. Though I think we are a bit spoiled by the CSI and Law and Order detailed writing, and I felt I was a step ahead of most of these guys, it was really great concept and well executed. There are a surprising number of laughs in this as well as your 1950's dick tracy kind of drama. Worth a see, espcially if you haven't visited this lovely intimate theatre! Collapse

My wife, young teen daughter and I braved last Friday night's rush hour traffic to catch Greater Tuna at Broadway West in Fremont. If you have a chance to come over this way, try to see the latest and I believe zaniest production ever by this wonderful small Theatre company! It was certainly the best comedy I've seen them produce. The two actors (Todd Wright and Robin Dunn) are superbly balanced and handled the numerous character changes and hilarious costume juggling beautifully. Kudos to Directors Jim Woodbury and Mary Galde for spicing up this already colorful and somewhat controversial script. If you haven't experienced a show at this tiny Theatre before, you're in for a rare treat: you can bring a warm coffee to your seat and enjoy the antique ambience of one of the oldest brick buildings in the city while watching this highly spirited show. Anyone needing a good belly laugh and a distraction from the stresses of the season should come on up and enjoy this happy, feel good show. Collapse

If you haven't been to this theatre yet, run, don't walk. This production is well acted and chock full of modern references and pun that will have you chuckling as well as groaning outloud. Fun to watch, and the wonderfully creative sets and lights make this even more enjoyable. This was my first time to this theatre and it was a great GREAT experiience. Collapse

It's been quite a while since I laughed this much in the theater. One person playing 36 parts would seem on the surface to be difficult, but Troy Johnson makes it seem so easy. Not only does he jump from character to character, but each one has a different accent/dialect AND unique mannerisms. And Troy never skips a beat; the changes from one to another are NOT slow but his timing and execution are excellent. This is a show you have got to see if you are looking for a lot of laughs. And it resolves nicely at the end. Paula and Mary (the Directors) deserve a lot of credit for this one as do the techies. This play ran flawlessly and hilariously. (And the young lady cutting up tickets did a great job, too). Don't miss this one! Collapse
