After suffering a major loss while on a cross-country bike trip, 21-year-old Leo seeks solace from his feisty 91-year-old grandmother Vera in her West Village apartment. Over the course of a single month, these unlikely roommates infuriate, bewilder and ultimately reach each other. 4000 Miles looks at how two outsiders find their way in today’s world.
4000 Miles first opened off-Broadway at The Duke Theater in New York City on 20 June 2011, presented by Lincoln Center Theater/LTC3 as a Steinberg New Works Program production. The director was Daniel Aukin.
4000 Miles then moved to the Mitzi E. Newhouse Theater in New York City, opening on 2 April 2012, presented by Lincoln Center Theater, under the direction of Andre Bishop and Bernard Gersten. The production starred Mary-Louise Wilson as Vera and Gabriel Ebert as Leo.

“This well-observed gem deserves to be a hit.” – The New York Post
“Herzog’s... humor, honesty and narrative subtlety make this a rarity: a family play that avoids sentimentality or sitcom shtick.” – Time Magazine
“Warmhearted... both love and irritability are woven into an illumination of the healing process after the loss of a loved one. The sensitive play [is] filled with small, revelatory and often humorous moments between a grandmother and her grandson.” – Associated Press
“A funny, moving, altogether wonderful drama... A heartening reminder that a keen focus on life’s small moments can pay off in a big way onstage.” – The New York Times
“Amy Herzog’s appealing new play unfolds with the unassuming ease of conversations overheard, among people with complicated relationships.” – Bloomberg
“Deeply affecting... Although 4000 Miles makes one think of a first-rate novella, it is solidly theatrical... the sort of rich, satisfying play you should take your grandmother to – especially if she’s as smart and fierce as Vera.” – Time Out New York
