Amy Herzog's 4000 MILES at Gloucester Stage Company

Posted by: ngtapfrog 09:53 pm EDT 08/10/14

Playwright Amy Herzog’s 4000 MILES is a slice-of-life drama that observes a month in the relationship between a 91-year old grandmother (Nancy E. Carroll) and her 21-year old grandson Leo (Tom Rash) who drops in on her in the middle of the night at the end of a harrowing cross-country bicycle trip. The reason for the visit is a mystery, which is oh-so-gradually revealed, but the story doesn’t cover much territory between point A and point B. Director Eric C. Engel grasps the timing necessary to bring out the play’s humor and Carroll is a master of delivering a very funny line with a deadpan expression. Performances through August 17 at Gloucester Stage Company.

I also saw this show in a regional production, and I think I had similar feelings to yours. I liked the play, but I wished that there was more "there," there. I'm not necessarily looking for tons of action (I love Annie Baker's non-there work), but I found that 4000 miles didn't have enough to chew on for me.

Does Amy Herzog have any new projects coming to NYC?
