Eileen Atkins & Timothée Chalamet to Star in 4000 Miles at London's Old Vic

Amy Herzog's Pulitzer-finalist drama 4000 Miles will receive a starry new staging at London's Old Vic next year. Eileen Atkins and Timothée Chalamet will headline the production, to be directed by Matthew Warchus, scheduled to begin previews on April 6, 2020 and officially open on April 16.

4000 Miles unfolds as 21-year-old Leo (Chalamet) shows up on the Manhattan doorstep of his 91-year-old grandmother Vera (Atkins).

Atkins, currently appearing on Broadway in The Height of the Storm, is a stage legend who has earned four Tony nominations and three Olivier Awards. Her appearances on-screen have netted her a Golden Globe nod and an Emmy Award.

Chalamet was Oscar-nominated for his turn in Call Me by Your Name, a performance which also earned him a Golden Globe nomination. He won a Lucille Lortel Award for his off-Broadway turn in Prodigal Son.

4000 Miles will play a limited engagement at the Old Vic through May 23, 2020.
