Show Review
Arena Theatre's reputation for delivering professional standard performances on tour continued with Tom Flood's production of Closer, check out the review at Sceneone.
This is the story of the romantic interactions of four people. It is a work that gets under its audience's skin and it is certainly not for the emotionally squeamish.
