Driving Miss Daisy opens in West End

Despite all her years of stage experience, award winning actress Vanessa Redgrave wasn't sure she'd be able to play her latest role.
She stars in Driving Miss Daisy alongside American actors James Earl Jones and Boyd Gaines.
The trio had a successful run with the show on Broadway and the production has just transferred to Wyndham's Theatre in London's West End.
SOUNDBITE: Vanessa Redgrave, actress, saying:
''Well Miss Daisy is a very, very unusual, very special lady. I didn't think I could play her, but somehow or other I seem to be and I am so glad I am.''
Set against the backdrop of the American civil rights movement, the play focuses on the unlikely friendship that grows between Daisy and her chauffeur - played by James Earl Jones.
Boyd Gaines makes up the rest of the cast, taking on the part of Daisy's son.
A great team on stage and off, Vanessa credits her fellow actors with helping with stage fright.
SOUNDBITE: Vanessa Redgrave, actress, saying:
''I mean I don't get it like I have had it, because of the complete trust we have in each other. I have had some wonderful times, wonderful experiences, very creative experiences, but this play and Jim and Boyd, I have never known such a high wire trust.''
Their chemistry was well received on the show's opening night in London.
Perhaps the secret to their success, is down to their pre-show rituals?
SOUNDBITE: Boyd Gaines, actor, saying:
I kill several chickens in my dressing room before each show.''
SOUNDBITE: Vanessa Redgrave, actress, saying:
''He tells some very lovely jokes and limericks and err makes us all''
SOUNDBITE: Boyd Gaines, actor, saying:
''We get the occasional dance from Vanessa, oh yes several times.''
SOUNDBITE: Reporter, saying:
''What style of dance does she do?''
SOUNDBITE: Boyd Gaines, actor, saying:
''I'm not telling, it's not for publication.''
Spoil sports!
Whatever really goes on, this team look set to go down a storm.
