WATCH THIS PLAY:
Closer at Lyric Hammersmith Theatre
A new production of Closer has just opened at Hammersmith’s Lyric Theatre. Since its 1997 premier, the play has won an Olivier Award and been put on in more than 200 cities across the world. Now, it’s been adapted by Clare Lizzimore (Mint, The Rage) and is set in the chaos of London. Four strangers meet, fall in love and fall apart. It’s about longing, lust, sex, and desire – and betrayal when the lines between lovers and friends are blurred. Starring Jack Farthing, Ella Hunt, Nina Toussaint-White and Sam Troughton. Tickets start from £10.
