CLOSER by Patrick Marber

in Closer he has written one of the best plays of sexual politics in the language."
The Sunday Times

"In Closer, Patrick Marber has created a brilliant exploration into the brutal
anatomy of modern romance, where a quartet of strangers meet, fall in love, and
become caught up in a web of sexual desire and betrayal. Closer is being hailed
as one of the best new plays of the nineties, and as the London Observer noted,
it "has wired itself into the cultural vocabulary in a way that few plays have
ever done." - The Sunday Times
"(A) powerful, darkly funny play about the cosmic collision between the sun of
love and the comet of desire. (...) The key element in pornography is the absence
of love. What's new about Closer is that it's a play about love that's fighting
fiercely not to become pornography -- or a play merely about lust, about appetite."
- Jack Kroll, Newsweek
