The Olivier Award-winning play and Hollywood hit film CLOSER is coming to the Lyric Hammersmith Theatre this summer.
‘What do you want?’
‘To be loved.’
‘That simple?’
‘It’s a big want.’
To mark the 25th Anniversary of the play’s premiere, Olivier Award winning director Clare Lizzimore stages a radical new production of Patrick Marber’s cult-classic about longing, lust, sex, and desire.
Joined by a core cast of Jack Farthing (Spencer, Poldark), Ella Hunt (Anna and the Apocalypse, Dickinson), Nina Toussaint-White (Bodyguard), and Sam Troughton (Mank, Robin Hood), this play is as relevant and emotional ever.
