Closer
BY PATRICK MARBER
Performed: November 2011
Theater im Romanischen Keller
This play is one of the most accurate and precise analyses of the modern world, of relationships and mostly of people, who cannot see their luck, who fail to pay attention to each other. Maybe it’s the modern times that create the illusion that everyone deserves everything one desires. That’s why the people, in this case portrayed by the characters, are unable to be happy with what they’ve got. Even the title contains the illusion of being close to the allegedly beloved, and as a consequence the characters fail to really getting to know each other.
