Women want Love, Men want Women.Patrick Marber's "Closer":The play that won the 1997 Evening Standard Best Comedy Award and the 1998 Laurence Olivier Award for Best New Play. (Playbill News: Closer comes Closer to Film Adaption as Mike Nichols set to direct)Marber described the play's "construction" in an October 1999 interview:The idea was always to create something that has a formal beauty into which you could shove all this anger and fury. I hoped the dramatic power of the play would rest on that tension between elegant structure – the underlying plan is that you see the first and last meeting of every couple in the play – and inelegant emotion. (National Theatre : Platform Papers : Patrick Marber (October 1999)

Closer is a work that gets the audience to consider relationships in a different light. Desire being a key theme throughout. How similar are each others desires ? From uncomfortable honesty to hilarious misunderstanding this play looks at the lives of 4 people (two couples) that follow their hearts in and out of love. "Pleasure and self destruction, the perfect poison".

With Director (Beng Oh), lighting (Michael Jewell) and musical score composed by Jerry Lau this play is sure to entertain and engage the audience.
