The Tony-nominated play “Closer” by Patrick Marber takes a microscope to modern relationships. Set in the ’90s, it follows two couples’ intertwining lives, as the partners get caught between love, desire and betrayal. “Closer” hits the stage this weekend, Friday through Sunday, at the Windmill Arts Center in East Point. Director and actor Jeff Cole, who plays the character Larry, joined “City Lights” host Lois Reitzes via Zoom along with Chad Darnell, the actor portraying Dan.
