4000 Miles at Baltimore Center Stage

4000 Miles

Baltimore Center Stage
700 North Calvert Street Baltimore

Set 10 years after After the Revolution, 91-year-old grandmother Vera Joseph takes center stage when, after a tragic loss on a cross-country bike trip, her 21-year-old grandson Leo shows up at her apartment. As a one-night stopover turns into an extended stay, these unlikely roommates frustrate, bewilder, and—eventually—connect with each other. In ways funny, raw, and heart-wrenching, grandmother and grandson find the common identity each needs.

"...Capturing the deadpan style of an independent New Yorker, Markle makes the humor in the dialogue all the funnier, especially when it helps cut the tension — a crucial scene of Leo telling of the dark turn that happened during his cross-country bike trip with his best buddy ends with a terribly perfect line from Vera."

"...4000 Miles is an entertaining show that will not leave you in tears or aches in your belly from laughing so much nor will the ending floor you. But it is a tender, genuine play performed by an extremely talented cast and is, what do you call it? Worth seeing."

"...It’s a long road, but a good one; the journey through The Herzog Festival at Centerstage this spring. At least, the back end of the road is worth the journey. Debuting as the second half of the repertory cycle, 4,000 Miles, makes a more lasting impression and is overall more tolerable and enjoyable as a production than its counterpart, After the Revolution. This work, though it is unclear as to where it sits in time in regards to the aforementioned play, is vastly more engaging, compelling and worth sitting through. Directed by Lila Neugebauer, the story focuses on the strength of relationships and the way that time and distance can alter those relationships."

4000 Miles takes place 10 years later and centers on the same family, but concentrates on its matriarch, Vera Joseph (Lois Markle), who is 91 and still lives independently in the same Greenwich Village apartment she shared for decades with her late husband, Marxist firebrand Joe Joseph.
