"Closer", emerges as one of the most successful plays of the 1990s,
and one with a continuing afterlife through the academy award
nominated film adaptation in 2004. Although the work of dramatists

critical and academic attention, "Closer" had long West End and
Broadway runs. The play has since gone on to repeat this success in
over 30 other countries.This guide provides a comprehensive
critical introduction to the play, giving students an overview of
the background and context; detailed analysis of the play's
structure, style, characters etc; analysis of key production issues
and choices; overview of the performance history from the 1997
National Theatre premiere to recent productions including the film
version; and an annotated guide to further reading highlighting key
critical approaches.This title provides accessible, informative
critical introductions to modern plays for students in both
Theatre/Performance Studies and English. Offering up-to-date
coverage of a broad range of key plays throughout modern drama, the
guides include accounts of performance history, production
analysis, screen adaptations and summaries of important critical
approaches and debates.
