4000 Miles by Amy Herzog

After suffering trauma while on a cross-country bike trip, entitled, 21-year-old Leo seeks solace from his feisty 91-year-old grandmother in her Greenwich Village apartment.  As his visit expands to a month, the play explores loss with surprising intimacy and depth.  “The contrast between these two closely-observed lead characters—their age, point of view, habits, styles, and elemental assumptions—are a continual source of pleasure in 4,000 Miles says Helen Epstein for Boston’s The Art Fuse.   The result is a show that has been described as charming, insightful, and moving. 

“4000 Miles” is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc.
