The award-winning play of love and betrayal that was the inspiration for Mike Nichols' acclaimed film of the same name and starring Julia Roberts, Jude Law, Natalie Portman, and Clive Own.

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."

Praise for Closer

"One of the best plays of sexual politics in the language." - John Peters, The Sunday Times

"Closer is a cool dark comedy of sexual desire and selfishness -- and the illusion of love." -John Heilpern, The New York Observer

"Marber seems to me to have the most assured sesnse for dramatic rhythm of any English playwright to have merged since Pinter." -Alastair Macaulay, The Financial Times

"A brilliant and bracingly adult new play ... Closer is both bruising and beautiful, shatteringly funny and devastatingly sad. ... Closer recalls that Noel Coward class [Private Lives]. But it's Coward laced with a nihilistic chill that derives from Beckett." -Charles Isherwood, Daily Variety
