”Closer” at the Lyric Hammersmith Theatre – first look images released

The Lyric Hammersmith Theatre has unveiled production photography for the 25th anniversary revival of Patrick Marber’s Closer.

The company also includes Lyric Springboard trainees – a group of performers involved in the venue’s programme. These are Kane Feagan, Georgia-Rose Oliver, Sam Purkis and Wilf Walsworth.

Clare Lizzimore directs the piece, with the production featuring set and costume design by Soutra Gilmour, lighting design by Richard Howell, composition, musical direction and live performance by Arun Ghosh, sound design by Christopher Shutt, movement direction by Malik Nashad Sharpe, and casting by Lotte Hines.

Closer runs until 13 August, with tickets on sale below.
