The Herzog Festival: "After the Revolution" and "4000 Miles"

Baltimore Playwright Amy Herzog: "After the Revolution" and "4000 Miles"

Pulitzer Prize-nominated playwright Amy Herzog has become so adept at dramatizing the tender nuances of human relationships, a festival has sprung up devoted to her work. The Herzog Festival brings two full-scale productions of the Baltimore native's hit plays to Center Stage for a simultaneous run. A small sensation when it debuted off-Broadway in 2010, "After the Revolution" follows a family of leftist radicals, whose constant intellectual squabbling masks deeply seeded emotional rifts. This humorous and sensitive work pairs with "4000 Miles", perhaps the only drama you'll ever see in which a young man bonds with his 91-year-old Communist grandmother following a life-changing bicycle trip.
