Written by British playwright Patrick Marber, Closer is one of the most striking plays in contemporary theater. Four strangers – Dan, Alice, Anna, and Larry – cross paths in London and discover that love, attraction, and truth rarely coexist.
Amidst encounters, seductions, and betrayals, they reveal the rawest side of human intimacy. It is a sharp, disarming look at desire and the fragility of those trying to love in a world where everything is visible – even what we would prefer to hide.
