Ninety-one year old political activist Vera Joseph’s solitary existence is entirely shaken when her grandson, Leo, appears at the door in the middle of the night. Leo is fresh from a cross-country bike ride, and assures Vera that he won’t stay long. Leo, however, is in crisis. While Leo seeks solace in his grandmother, Vera finds companionship in another person for the first time since the loss of her husband, Joe. Over the course of a single month, these unlikely roommates infuriate, bewilder, and ultimately reach each other.

A finalist for the 2013 Pulitzer Prize in Drama, 4000 Miles is a compassionate, intimate, and frequently funny play that examines the love of the family we can choose, the family we can’t, and the healing power of trust.

"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,

"This well-observed gem deserves to be a hit." - The New York Post
