Closer (Methuen Drama)

The play focuses on the complex relationships, politics and morality of four people trading partners in search of love and lust. It uniquely blends elements of classical tragedy, classical comedy, and melodrama and challenges audience perceptions at every turn. Marber turns upside down romantic notions of love and sex uniting two people as one and the assumption that the absolute truth is healthy for relationships. This Student Edition comes complete with a full introduction, plot synopsis, commentary, discussion of the film version, bibliography and questions for study. It is the perfect edition for anyone studying the play at school or college.
