I was impressed when I read Closer. Unlike the previous plays, this one features multiple locations, and that makes the story feel more realistic. In our last discussion, when we were talking about Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, I remember somebody bringing up the fact that the film version had Honey passed out inside a car, while the play had her in the house bathroom. Considering that this scene is the one where Nick and Martha try to have sex, it makes more sense to have Honey (Nick’s wife)…

Whether it be through the accumulation of…

This was a high expectation and the outposts experienced a considerable amount of challenges before becoming great colonies.
