2025 marks my 50th year as a volunteer with Southern Berkshire Ambulance. My good friend, Ken Schumacher, is celebrating his 49th. Together, we've seen a lot of change. But one thing hasn't: We are there when you need us—24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
When history and religious background lead the intellectual way to drama and all the factors work perfectly—as they do in this fine play—all we have to do is sit back and let the characters take us where they must.
“4000 Miles” is a little gem that gently reminds us that it’s possible to make connection small and large for life to have meaning. Herzog tells that through old-fashioned basics like real characters and solid storytelling.
“4000 Miles” features award-winning actress Annette Miller and Shakespeare & Company member Gregory Boover along with Zoë Laiz and Company newcomer Emma Geer.
If the sound of romantic language, of lyrically prosed poetry appeals to you and if the story of lost love nearly recovered 50 years too late is something you enjoy, this is a play for you to see. And there is Annette Miller. You can't ask for much more than this.
I sat at Barrington Stage Company's current production unreasonably transfixed as a weird version of my own life played out before me. This is one great play about people I hope you never meet outside the theatre.
See this play before it's too late if you like obsessive kids and don't mind a whopping big dose of hatred, anger, passionate desire and nonstop trains crashing into stalled cars.
