Praise for 4000 Miles

“Herzog unravels the details slowly, with uncommon narrative skill . . . Everything about 4000 Miles seems fresh, particularized, plausible . . . The family drama that really sticks with you. Easily the best play of the season.”

—Richard Zoglin, Time

“Herzog’s wonderful play about growing up and finding home has only ripened over time. 4000 Miles is one of the best, bravest plays of the season. See it no matter how far you must travel.”

—David Cote, Time Out New York

“Plays as truthful and touching and fine as Amy Herzog’s 4000 Miles come along once or maybe twice a season, if we’re lucky . . . A beautifully rendered portrait of the relationship between an old-style lefty grandmother and her new-style lefty grandson . . . This is the rare theatrical production that achieves perfection on its own terms.”

—Charles Isherwood, New York Times

“Amy Herzog is an intelligent, delicately articulate writer with a piquant, arresting subject . . . Encounters of the kind Herzog graphs, compassionately, among left-thinking people, end irresolutely, or dissipate into nothing, giving her play the unresolved, undramatic quality of a set of short stories. Like the landed gentry who populate Chekhov’s plays, Herzog’s people are conscious of a large absence in their lives, but not wholly able to define it . . . She has a naturalistic delicacy of detail.”

—Michael Feingold, Village Voice

“The best new play by a young writer . . . Part of its excellence arises from the seemingly paradoxical fact that Ms. Herzog has had the good sense not to make 4000 Miles a political drama . . . It is, instead, a finely wrought, closely observed character study, funny and serious in just the right proportions.”

—Terry Teachout, Wall Street Journal
