Mark Haddon, Author of the best-selling novel The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time, celebrates his play writing debut Polar Bears at the Donmar Warehouse. The play runs until 22nd May, and theatre tickets for the show are currently on sale.

Polar Bears follows the struggle of John to love and cope with the emotional extremes of his wife Kay, who suffers from bi-polar disorder. The phases of the moon reflect her changeable mood as she swings from alive, inspired and magnetic to a severe and destructive darkness that John cannot penetrate.

“Jamie Lloyd’s clever and outstandingly well acted production” features Richard Coyle in the role of John and Jodhi May as Kay.

Richard Coyle is regular on the London theatre stage, and his credits include Harold Pinter’s The Collection and The Lover, Don Carlos, The York Realist and Look Back in Anger on the West End. He has appeared previously at the Donmar Warehouse theatre in London in After Miss Julie and Proof. He has been seen on screen in Coupling, Strange, The Libertine, Gunpowder, Cracker, The Best Man, Whistleblowers and Plot and Treason.

Jodhi May’s stage credits include Blackbird, Platnov and The Talking Cure. She is a regular on the screen and has appeared in Emma, The Other Boleyn Girl, The House of Mirth, Tipping the Velvet, The Last of The Mohicans, Nightwatching, Defiance, The Street and The Amazing Mrs Pritchard to name a few.

Shakespeare’s Globe welcomes actress Miranda Raison for two productions being performed in repertory starting this May. Shakespeare’s seldom performed Henry VIII will play alongside the premiere of Anne Boleyn, a new play from writer Howard Brenton, dubbed to offer “a very different portrayal of this iconic English Queen”.

Raison will play Anne Boleyn in both productions. Theatre tickets are currently on sale.

Henry VIII, directed by Mark Rosenblatt, will enjoy its first production at the Globe theatre in London since its refurbishment. In fact it was during this particular play in 1916 that a misfired theatrical cannon burned the original Globe to the ground. Starring alongside Raison is Dominic Rowan (The Misanthrope) in the role of Henry himself and Anthony Howell (Foyles War) will play Buckingham.

Brenton’s Anne Boleyn is a dramatic portrayal of the King’s notorious second wife. Brenton’s Anne is a politically headstrong, religious and sexually ambitious woman heavily involved in Tudor politics. John Dove directs, re-uniting with Brenton for the first time in three years after 2007’s In Extremis, also at the Globe.

Best known as Jo Portman in popular BBC drama Spooks, Miranda Raison also has an extensive list of theatrical credits, including The Man Who Came To Dinner at Chichester Festival Theatre in London and Salisbury Playhouse’s The Rivals.

Further productions at the Globe this summer are Henry IV Part 1 and 2, Macbeth and The Merry Wives of Windsor, all part of the Kings and Rogues season.

Shunt Lounge is renowned for innovative, wild and often wacky London theatre, and the resident space for the theatre organisation Shunt. By popular demand, Shunt’s recent production Money has now extended its run until June.

In a similar subject to hit West End show Enron, which focuses of the financial corruption and downfall of a US energy company in 2001, Money centres upon the collapse of Union Generale, a French bank, in the 19th Century.

Inspired from L’Argent by Emile Zola, which was itself stimulated following happenings surrounding the French bank, Money presents an almost text free production “in their inimitable aesthetic of fractured narrative, electrifying imagery and all-out sensory assault” – a style upon which they have built their success.

Aristide Saccard, an anti-semetic financier, wants to make a rapid fortune. He sets up a somewhat unstable institution which funds the public works and rail lines in the Middle East, meanwhile organising a dummy syndicate to manipulate share prices by purchasing all of his own stock. However the interference of Jewish rival Gundermann exposes his illegal practices, resulting in Saccard’s downfall.

Shunt consists of a troupe of ten performers, whose previous larger productions include Amato Saltone and Tropicana. Shunt Lounge is situated in the vaults underneath the London Bridge Station, and is home to regular experimental London theatre shows and various club nights.
