I could completely relate with characters of 4000 Miles, currently at Seattle's Artswest Theater, because in my early 20's I traveled great distances to find myself, but I could always count on my Grandmother for a place to come back to. After her death in 2006, I have just started to recover this past year.
4000 Miles is a dramatic comedy by Amy Herzog. The play ran Off-Broadway in 2011, and again in 2012 and was a finalist for the 2013 Pulitzer Prize for Drama.
When 21 year-old Leo ( the scruffy, Adam Standley) suffers a major loss while he was on a cross-country bike trip (starting in Seattle), he seeks solace from his feisty 91 year-old grandmother Vera (the FAB and Legendary, Susan Corzatte) in her West Village apartment. Over the course of a single month, these roommates infuriate, bewilder, and ultimately reach each other.
