A grandson rings the bell at 3 a.m., pushing a bike and hauling a heavy backpack, claiming he was just passing by. What does a good grandmother do? First, she pops a hearing aid into her ear, then she sets about making space for the great traveler. That’s the warm, funny kickoff to Amy Herzog’s hit comedy Jaj, nagyi! (4000 Miles), a critics’ and audience favorite around the world, where two generations, two worlds, and two mindsets—and a stash of unspoken words—blend into a heart-melting, witty cocktail. The odd-couple roommates’ tale of understanding, acceptance, and moving on is a true gift for a great leading actress and her young partners.
