Four lives intertwine over the course of four and a half years in this densely plotted, stinging look at modern love and betrayal. Dan (Casey Andree), an obituary writer, meets Alice (Erica Fox), a stripper, after an accident in the street. Eighteen months later, they are a couple, and Dan has written a novel inspired by Alice. While posing for his book jacket cover, Dan meets Anna (Haley Johnson), a photographer. He pursues her, but she rejects his advances despite their mutual attraction. Larry (Eric Mather), a dermatologist, "meets" Dan in an Internet chat room. Dan, obsessing over Anna, pretends to be her and has cybersex with Larry. They arrange to meet the next day at an aquarium. Larry arrives and so too, coincidentally, does the real Anna. This sets up a series of pass-the-lover scenes in which this quartet struggle to find intimacy but can't seem to get closer.

Winner of the 1998 Olivier Award for Best Play and the 1999 New York Drama Critics Circle Award for Best Foreign Play," Closer" has been produced in over thirty different languages and was adapted into the 2004 blockbuster feature film of the same name.
