4000 Miles
Contemporary Drama
After suffering a major loss while on a cross-country bike trip, 21 year-old Leo shows up at his Grandmother Vera's West Village apartment. And that's when the real journey begins. Arriving with a bike, no money and nowhere to go, he's just looking for a place to stay and a little help from the feisty 91 year-old lefty. Over the course of a single month, these unlikely roommates infuriate and bewilder each other. Ultimately they discover the fragile connection they share between growing up and growing old. Named by Time Magazine as the best play of the year, this compelling new work was also a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize.
"A funny, moving, altogether wonderful drama..."
- The New York Times
Suitability Suggestion
4000 Miles deals with death, the complexities of modern relationships and contains profanity used to show generations gently colliding. This Pulitzer Prize finalist is a loving and absorbing look at youth and aging, ideals and deflating realities, death and grief and is recommended for upper high school students who are prepared for the emotional nature of the play.
