Powderkeg Players proudly presents Closer 

In the heart of late-nineties London, a quartet of strangers are drawn together by chance, passion and temptation. As relationships shift and loyalties are tested, a tangled web of love and deceit transforms into a dangerous game where desire and deception blur the lines between intimacy and betrayal. Alice is so authentically herself. Larry is incapable of vulnerability. Dan uses other people’s flaws to distract from his own, and Anna is set on contorting herself into everyone else’s idea of who she should be.

Patrick Marber’s Closer is a provocative, witty and emotionally devastating play that views love and sex like politics: it’s not what you say that matters, still less what you mean, but what you do. A brilliant exploration into the brutal anatomy of modern romance and the painful truths we hide from those we love.
