TheatreLAB Presents: CLOSER

CLOSER by Patrick Marber directed by Chanelle Vigue May 3, 4, 5, 8, 9, and 10* at RVA Event Space [0 East 4th Street, RVA 23224] *All performances will begin at 8pm Featuring: Thomas Cunningham as "Dan," Theresa Mantiply as "Alice," Liz Earnest as "Anna," and Evan Nasteff as "Larry" A writer, a photographer, an enigmatic young woman, and a doctor get caught up in an unusual set of cross-relationships that move across blind dates, internet chat rooms, and high-end strip clubs. In CLOSER, Patrick Marber has created a brilliant exploration into the brutal anatomy of modern romance, where a quartet of strangers meet, fall in love, and become caught in a web of sexual desire and betrayal. Winner of the 1998 Olivier Award for Best Play and the 1999 New York Drama Critics Circle Award for Best Foreign Play. "In its cutting contemporary picture of sexual desire and emotional failure, CLOSER is a brilliantly unusual virtual reality that rings true." - NY Observer Assistant Direction by Joe Kilgannon Toscano Stage Management/Asst.
