I first watched Closer the movie some years back, mere days after a college-era heartbreak. I left the theater weeping, and declared for the time, that Patrick Marber was my favorite playwright. Marber got that bizarre push and pull of love at its worst, and just who we really are when the crave and need to commit becomes an obligation. In the end of it all, perhaps we aren’t even who we say or think we are.
As if the movie wasn’t grueling enough, the stage play is even more heart wrenching. Do catch Red Turnip Theater’s final run this weekend and prepare to feel.
You can still catch Red Turnip Theater’s production of ‘Closer’ on October 26 and 27, 2013 at Whitespace, Pasong Tamo Extension, Makati, Metro Manila. Visit their facebook page for show schedule and ticketing information: Red Turnip Theater.
