4000 MILES University of Adelaide Theatre Guild The Little Theatre Drama -- Note this is an archived listing for performances in the year 2021 -- Written By: Amy Herzog Directed By: Erik Strauts ”That’s why I’m here. Because I don’t know where else to be.” Ninety-one year old feisty political activist Vera Joseph’s solitary existence is shaken when her grandson Leo appears at her door in the middle of the night, having crossed the country on his bicycle with his best friend. As an overnight couch-surf turns into an extended stay, these unlikely roommates infuriate, bewilder and ultimately reach each other through a moving and amusing battle of wits. A Pulitzer Prize Finalist and Winner of an Obie Award and the New York Times Outstanding Playwright Award, Amy Herzog’s compassionate and unsentimental play explores the funny, frustrating and ultimately life changing relationship, with a grandson learning to face his life and a grandmother who is starting to forget hers. An inter-generational poignant play about growing up and growing old. "If your heart is sick or just needs warming, go and see this play. If you are a baby boomer who doesn't understand your grandchildren or are from Gen Y and, like, really weirded out by your grandparents, go and see this play. If you simply love theatre, go and see this play." (Sydney Morning Herald) Approx. Running Time: 2hrs Suitable for ages: Warning: Sexual references and mild drug use.
