The Seeing Place Theatre Presents CLOSER, Opens 9/21

The Seeing Place Theater, known for intensely intimate ensemble work, revives Marber's penetrating parable of learning how to love in the modern world.

It's not just a play about betrayal.

Meet Dan. 35 years old. A failed novelist. Stuck in a dead-end job, writing obituaries. He's all but given up on life. His best relationship has been with his pen - until Alice, an enigmatic stripper, crashes into his world. Now, he's got the girl. He's got a new book coming out. But nothing seems to be enough. Chance intervenes again in the form of Anna, a passionate photographer. It's true love all over - except she wants nothing to do with him... until after she marries Larry, a deviant dermatologist.

A Tony Nominated and Olivier Award Winner, Closer has been called "one of the best plays of sexual politics in the language." - The Sunday Times

"Love does not begin and end the way we seem to think it does. Love is a battle. Love is a war. Love is a growing up.." - James Baldwin
