Never Closer

Deirdre is stuck – between arguments, nations, and the lives she almost lived. But when her old school friends gather in her kitchen once again for Christmas Eve, ten years since they were last all together, their growing differences push to the surface a powder-keg, waiting for the tiniest spark. And then one of them turns up with her surprise fiancé.
He’s English.
Set against the backdrop of The Troubles, Never Closer is an unforgettable drama of home, friends, the decision to leave or stay, and the possibility of forgiveness.
Following its acclaimed mainstage premiere at Belvoir St Theatre in 2024, Never Closer makes its ACT debut in a brand new production by Off the Ledge Theatre. With the support of the Canberra Theatre Centre, this sharp, darkly funny, and haunting new Australian play arrives in the capital for a strictly limited two-week season – a chance for local audiences to experience one of the country’s most talked-about new works, right here at home.
