DRIVING MISS DAISY - Los Angeles Times

just found this piece online that ran on LOS ANGELES TIMES.COM "Culture Monster" section about DRIVING MISS DAISY which I found very interesting for the sheer fact that I haven't heard/read about anything else than what writer David Ng is providing conjecture on - and that is - the question if DMD is going to be eligable for Best Play or Best Revival. I said the same thing myself when I read that, uh, Best Play???

He cites OLEANNA as another example of a piece that while never performed on Broadway, was eligble as Best Revivial...

Writer David Ng proposes that perhaps Best Play is a moot option (and I so agree with this) because DRIVING MISS DAISY is part of the historical or cultural repetoire...) Duh, right?

So why even write this piece to begin with? I haven't seen or read anything else on the boards talking about that....

Meanwhile, i am so exicted to see this production. Cannot wait - catching it in a few weeks and will report back.

Curious to read other take on this LA Times piece tho...

wouldnt say i have a bee in my bonnet about it but i think its very interesting for those of us that follow theater for the sheer fact that i hadnt read anything like this on the message boards

and because i cant wait to see this play - ive heard and read so many amazing things about it - with some of the best actors of our time.

by the way, i also Loved Oleanna

I would think it would be eligible for Best Play - time will tell. Looking forward to seeing it next month when I'm in NYC.

Yeah, it was news to me. Though I can't say I'd ever really thought about it.

I thought it was an interesting article.
