Closer
Independent Theater Company
Dan, a writer, takes Alice, a stripper, to the hospital after an
accident and they become a couple. Dan writes a book inspired by her.
While posing for his book jacket cover, he meets the photographer Anna.
He pursues her but she rejects his advances despite their mutual
attraction. Dan, obsessing over Anna, pretends to be her and goes on an
online chat with Larry, a dermatologist. 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.
Approximate Running Time: 2 hours; including one intermission
