Closer Open Workshop

Interested in finding out how this most intimate of plays came to life on the Donmar stage?

The Donmar’s Open Workshops have been designed to let you find out more about the process of bringing Closer to life. Through a range of practical, participatory exercises, games and discussions, the practitioners will lead you through some of the techniques used in the rehearsal room, and provide an insight into the decisions and concepts that shaped the production. There will be opportunities to approach the text and take part in group improvisations and discussions in a friendly, relaxed and informal setting. Whether you are seasoned amateur actor, or a theatrical novice, these Open Workshops will give you a unique insight into Closer and our work.

The Donmar’s Open Workshops are designed to give the audience a greater understanding of their work. They are not targeted at professional actors or theatre-makers, but at members of the audience interested in learning more about the Donmar’s rehearsal process.
