Closer (Methuen Modern Plays) (Modern Classics)

by PatrickMarber (Author)

Synopsis

Love and sex are like politics: it's not what you say that matters, still less what you mean, but what you do. Patrick Marber understands this perfectly, and in Closer he has written one of the best plays of sexual politics in the language: it is right up there with Williams' Streetcar, Mamet's Oleanna, Albee's Virginia Woolf, Pinter's Old Times and Hare's Skylight.' (The Sunday Times) "Patrick Marber's searing follow-up to Dealer's Choice establishes him as the leading playwright of his generation." (Independent on Sunday)
