The Story: Finding Love is easy. Holding on to it is the tough part. Set in modern London, Closer is an engaging story of four strangers who fall in and out of love with each other. The brutally honest play sizzles with incisive dialogue and intriguing characters. There's Alice, a carefree, but vulnerable, young ex-stripper. Dan is an emotionally confused obituary writer and aspiring novelist. Anna is a deep, sophisticated photographer. Larry is a brutish, conflicted physician.
