| Synopsis |
“…a brilliant and bracingly adult
new play from London…
bruising and beautiful,
shatteringly funny and devastatingly sad.
The play’s dialogue has
a raw emotionality
rarely heard in art or life.
It cuts like broken glass…
full of bitter,
intelligent,
unvarnished truth.”

The Bracken Theatre Company presents Patrick Marber’s drama, “Closer”. Directed by Alicia Nordstrom. Starring Will Moore, Kerry Kane, Eleanor Gwyn-Jones and John Morris. This production contains adult language and themes.
Four lives intertwine over the course of four and a half years in this densely-plotted, stinging look at modern love and betrayal. Dan (an obituary writer) meets Alice (a stripper) after an accident in the street, and the two become a couple. After an internet prank, Anna (a photographer) and Larry (a dermatologist) meet at an aquarium and fall in love.
Through a series of events, these four people cross relationships and pursue each other, and struggle to find intimacy while failing to get closer.
Winner of the 1998 Oliver Award for Best play and the 1999 New York Drama Critics Circle Award for Best Foreign Play. |
