BENCH THEATRE PRESENT
CLOSER
BY PATRICK MARBER
‘Love and sex are like politics: it’s not what you say that matters, still less what you mean, but what you do.’
Set in 90s London, ‘Closer’ takes a cynical, yet accurate, look at modern relationships. Both a romantic comedy and brutal analysis of contemporary love, it is a play about the kindness of strangers and the cruelty of desire. Don’t miss an opportunity to
see the original stage play of the award winning film — one of the best plays of the 1990s.
Contains strong language.
