Closer, a dramatic play written by Patrick Marber, is a whirlwind of love, lust, betrayal, and heartbreak. Premiering in London in 1997, it quickly gained notoriety for its unflinching portrayal of modern relationships.
The play follows the interconnected lives of four Londoners: Alice, an aspiring writer; Dan, a struggling novelist; Larry, a successful dermatologist; and Anna, a photographer and escort. Their paths intertwine through a series of chance encounters and passionate affairs.
As the characters become entangled in a web of infidelity and emotional manipulation, the play explores the darker side of human desire. Deceptions unravel, trust erodes, and past choices have lasting consequences.

BWW Review: CLOSER at Open Door Rep: An Intimate Show in an Intimate Location
April 13, 2019If your theatre doesn't have a home base, it can be difficult to find places to perform your shows. Sometimes it means finding a new place to perform. This can be both challenging and exciting at the same time. Now imagine a theatre that does this for every show. That would be Open Door Rep. They find new spaces for each show as their mission is to be accessible both financially and demographically. Their current show 'Closer' by Patrick Marber, which plays through April 20, is both accessible financially with a $12 ticket price, and demographically by being held at Main Frame Studios. One of the great things about this location is that it is an art studio. While at the show, take a look at all the beautiful art that lines the hallways.
