Closer at Lyric Hammersmith Theatre

‘I need you. I can’t think, I can’t work, I can’t breathe. We are going to die. Please…save me.’

Dan and Alice. Anna and Dan. Larry and Anna. Alice and Larry.

In the chaos of London; four strangers meet, fall in love and fall apart as desire turns to heartbreak.

Closer is the Olivier award-winning play of the hit film. In a radical new staging by Clare Lizzimore this funny and uncompromising modern classic cuts to the quick of human connection and the cost of risking it all for intimacy.

In a city out of lockdown, the play is as searing today as it ever was in its exploration of love, sex and the fragility of the human heart.
