5 out of 5 stars Amazing   November 24, 2006
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful

I am an Actor. I have played Dan and Larry previously and I am currently directing this play!

Closer is an amzingly succicnt, accurate and realistic play. It was billy connoly who said "A man needs to have sex before He'll say 'I love you', a women needs to hear 'I love you' before she'll have sex! At somepoint, somewhere, one of them must lie". Closer shows us those lies.

Dan, Larry, Anna and Alice's lives are connected in ways none of them could comprehend. The decisions they make when they are young and juvinile come back to haunt them later as they slowly descend into lives of deciet and lies.

I love this play, and even if you are not going to perform it, read it... it'll make you think about your own relationships and possibly influence you for the better!



5 out of 5 stars An excoriating study of jealousy and its effects   October 25, 2001
 8 out of 9 found this review helpful

Just saw this one at the Rep in Birmingham and it took me straight back to the worst moment of my life. As the teenagers bussed in for the day giggled at the dirty words I sat agog in shock. Marber gets to the point in direct language though structurally it is subtle, not allowing the tension, sexual or otherwise let up for a second. Looking forward to reading Dealer's Choice and Howard Katz


5 out of 5 stars This is a stunning modern play   June 9, 2000

I read "closer" after reading Dealer's Choice (also Marber) both plays are accessible, very readable and addictive. I have no doubt that you will instantly love the characters and the twists and turns in the plot.
