Pick "Ronan Marra’s sleek, well-paced
production packs in enough wit to outshine Marber’s
sly but often frustrating text. And this solid cast, too,
knows dramatic hooks are sometimes best served with a wink."
— Tim Lowery, Time Out Chicago
"Darkly funny and emotionally riveting"
— Barbara Vitello, Daily Herald
Not To Be Missed "In
one of those little gems from the hip young troupe, Signal
Ensemble offers a thrillingly fresh comedy of manners…high
quality [with] stellar performances." — Tom Williams,

"Closer is a sad, savvy, often
funny play that casts a steely, unblinking gaze at the world
of relationships and lets you come to your own conclusions…Closer
does not merely hold your attention; it burrows into you."
— NY Magazine
"…a brilliant and bracingly adult
new play from London…bruising and beautiful, shatteringly
funny and devastatingly sad. The play's dialogue has a raw
emotionality rarely heard in art or life. It cuts like broken
glass…full of bitter, intelligent, unvarnished truth.
— Variety
"A powerful, darkly funny play about
the cosmic collision between the sun of love and the comet
of desire." — Newsweek Magazine
"In its cutting contemporary picture
of sexual desire and emotional failure, Closer is
a brilliantly unusual virtual reality that rings true. The
best new play on Broadway." — NY Observer |
