Close to You

Close to You

From Australian creator and director Rama Nicholas

CLOSE TO YOU… improvisation like you have never seen it before

A fully improvised show about Romantic love, Intimacy, Passion and Sexual Attraction.

Romantic love is a theme we see in cinema, books, poetry, myths and legends. There are love stories everywhere and whether or not we like to admit it these stories intrigue us and draw us in with the thrill of feeling and hurting just as much as the characters do.

And yet, romantic love is a place that improvisers rarely dare to tread.

This intimate show, however, courageously draws back the veil on our secret lives and loves and gives the audience the chance to glimpse love in its rawest form improvised on stage.

Experience the highs and lows. That warm and fuzzy feeling only a new love can invoke, candid conversations about sex, the ups and downs of lasting relationships, the passion, the craving, the break ups, the broken hearts and the electrifying tension of desire…

Like all great love stories – CLOSE TO YOU will leave you wanting more.

Creator, Director and host – Rama Nicholas
