‘Closer’ is 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. Smart-but-ineffectual journalist Dan can’t decide between his girlfriend, loving-but-clingy waitress Alice, or his lover cold-but-intellectual photographer Anna. Anna herself can’t decide between Dan and honest-but-thuggish doctor Larry. The play puts four characters in a box and then takes them apart, with amusing yet mysterious results.
