Patrick Marber wrote Closer in 1997. Since its stage opening, it has received the highest British awards for dramaturgy and went on to acclaim on Broadway and in Hollywood. The story’s four controversial protagonists, played by Paola Francesca Frasca, Fabrizio Falco, Davide Cirri and Eletta Del Castillo, speak of love. Yet, without any element of poetry, they reveal how certain feelings can sometimes descend into a purely instinctual and possessive dimension.
