Dan, Alice, Larry and Anna – four people whose lives become inextricably linked as they make connections which entangle one another emotionally and physically.

Common Ground Theatre Company will be tackling the complications of fractured relationships when it stages its latest production, Closer by Patrick Marber, at Lincoln Drill Hall on July 5-7.

An intense four-hander, the play intricately focuses on the politics of people trading partners for lust.

A successful stage production, Closer was also adapted into a 2004 film starring Natalie Portman, Julia Roberts, Jude Law and Clive Owen.

"The Room Upstairs is the perfect venue for such an intense play and I am so proud to be directing this show."
