Hovey Players present CLOSER by Patrick Marber, directed by Kristin Hughes, and produced by Nicole Sparks. The Cast includes Sara Jane Burns as Alice, Robin Gabrielli as Dan, Bill Stambaugh as Larry, and Melissa Sine as Anna. CLOSER focuses on the complex relationships and sexual politics, and morality of four people trading partners in search of love, intimacy, and being closer. By turns funny, scabrous, and tragic, this winner of the 1998 Olivier Award for Best Play and the 1999 New York Drama Critics Circle Award for Best Foreign Play offers a brutal and honest look at the pitfalls of modern romance. Performances are January 13, 14, 20, 21, 26, 27 & 28, at 8pm, and January 22 at 2pm. Tickets are $18 General Admission and $15 Seniors and Students. Performances will be at the Abbott Memorial Theater, 9 Spring Street, Joel’s Way, Waltham, MA, next to the Waltham Public Library. Reservations can be made by calling (781) 893-9171 or you may email reservations@hoveyplayers.com. Join us on Opening Night where we will be serving food donated by Waltham’s Baan Thai Restaurant immediately following the performance. Wine and snacks will also be served.
