REVIEWS of the 2001 Station Theatre production Four lives intertwine in this stinging look at modern love and betrayal. Dan, an obituary writer, meets Alice, a stripper, and writes a novel inspired by their meeting. While posing for his book jacket cover, Dan meets Anna, a photographer. Larry, a dermatologist, searches the Internet chat rooms for love. A series of pass-the-lover scenes occur in which this quartet struggle to find intimacy but can’t seem to get closer.
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. January 25 - February 10, 2000 Show times Thursday through Sunday at 8 p.m. (Wednesdays 8:30 p.m.) |
