Closer, a dramatic play written by Patrick Marber, is a whirlwind of love, lust, betrayal, and heartbreak. Premiering in London in 1997, it quickly gained notoriety for its unflinching portrayal of modern relationships.

The play follows the interconnected lives of four Londoners: Alice, an aspiring writer; Dan, a struggling novelist; Larry, a successful dermatologist; and Anna, a photographer and escort. Their paths intertwine through a series of chance encounters and passionate affairs.

As the characters become entangled in a web of infidelity and emotional manipulation, the play explores the darker side of human desire. Deceptions unravel, trust erodes, and past choices have lasting consequences.
