Written by Patrick Marber
Directed by Pete Brassington
Four characters—Dan, Anna, Larry, and Alice—navigate love, desire, and betrayal. A quartet of strangers in a sexual square dance, their story unfolds over the span of four years.
Closer presents a biting commentary on intimacy, connection, and the often destructive consequences of human interaction. It is an unflinching examination of love’s darker side.
