Enter Stage Left, a new theatrical producing company, takes great pride in presenting their inaugural production, the Dallas premiere of Patrick Marber’s award winning Closer, directed by Jason Folks.
Four lives intertwine in this densely plotted, stinging look at modern love and betrayal. Dan, an obituary writer, meets Alice, a stripper, after an accident in the street. Eighteen months later, they are a couple, and Dan has written a novel inspired by Alice. While posing for his book jacket cover, Dan meets Anna, a photographer. He pursues her, but she rejects his advances despite their mutual attraction. Larry, a dermatologist, “meets” Dan in an Internet chat room. Dan, obsessing over Anna, pretends to be her and has cybersex with Larry. They arrange to meet the next day at an aquarium. Larry arrives and so too, coincidentally, does the real Anna. This sets up a series of pass-the-lover scenes in which this quartet struggles to find intimacy but can’t seem to get closer.
This show is rated a strong “R” for adult language and situations.
