4,000 MILES EARNS 4-STARS FROM LCT
Amy Herzog’s play “4,000 Miles†has earned 4 Stars from the panelists of the League of Cincinnati Theatres. Panelists described it as a “delightful, lovely play†intersecting “youthful tragedy with the struggles of the elderly as friends die off.â€
Panelists raved, “The acting is stellar. The costumes were spot on…The set was home. It’s Herzog’s language that gives us such a ride. Double thumbs up.â€
Another comment, “a beautiful little jewel …It felt as if Herzog had invaded my personal memories and stolen actual conversations I have had with my great-aunts, my grandmother. Her characters are so finely wrought that I wept with recognition… It’s fantastic across the boards.â€
The panelists singled out the performance of Rosemary Prinz as Vera, stating her performance “is untouchableâ€Â and “phenomenal in her role as a 91-year old leftist in Manhattan, weaving comic charm with tragic moments in a moving, powerful manner.â€
“4,000 Miles†continues through March 9 at the Shelterhouse in Cincinnati’s Playhouse in the Park. For tickets and more information go to cincyplay.com or call 513-421-3888.
Nominations for LCT awards will be determined and announced at the end of the season and winners awarded at the annual LCT gala in the spring.
