Debuts with
"Closer"
by Patrick Marber
Directed by Brenda Cook

(Denver, CO) Uncorked Productions debuts with Patrick Marber's "Closer," a sexy, gritty and fierce dissection of love, lust and life, on January 18, 2008.

In "Closer", Patrick Marber has created a brilliant exploration into the brutal anatomy of modern romance, where a quartet of strangers meets, falls in love, and becomes caught up in a web of sexual desire and betrayal. "Closer" was an international hit and has been produced in more than 100 different cities across the world. It received both the Olivier Award for Best Play and the New York Critics Circle Award for Best Foreign Play on Broadway and was adapted into the blockbuster feature film of the same name.

Writer, singer, pianist Elizabeth Rose is working on third record for the band. Rose has been included in the soundtracks of many movies and shorts. As an actor Rose starred in the hit regional premier of "I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change" at the Denver Performing Arts Center. Rose can be seen in the new film, Juncturedirected by James Seale, which premiered at the Denver Film Festival in November and includes two of her songs on the soundtrack. Additional film work includes Suburban with Marty Lindsey and The Five, shot in Denver.

Elizabeth Rose joins the cast for a special performance on Friday, January 25, performing live all evening beginning with a pre show warm-up. She will play her original "Closer" compositions for this show only and continue as the evening's entertainment at a post show reception. Tickets for this special performance are $25.00 andmay be purchased by calling 877-862-6752 or at www.uncorkedproductions.org.
