Closer: A Play
by Patrick Marber
Actual rating: 4.5 stars
Another day, another play I had to read for class! I was so happy that I hadn't read the play, nor watched the movie before, because I went into it completely blind and it was an interesting experience!
A play that focuses on 4 people, their relationships with each other and their relationship with themselves. It was raw, brutal, didn't shy away in the use of language or themes and it really brought into perspective what it means to be a human with flaws, looking for love in others and in yourself.
I cannot say that I had a particularly favourite characters among the 4 of them. I definitely enjoyed the conversations they had, the way their minds worked and the extent they went to get what they wanted. Someone might find them quite extreme, but then again, isn't a person's nature extreme on its own?
All in all, I really enjoyed my time with this play, I think it's definitely worth a second read and maybe some annotation as well, cause there's plenty food for thought here!
