The Donmar Warehouse

Monday, May 31st, 2010

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.

Polar Bears

Thursday, January 21st, 2010

The novelist Mark Haddon has enjoyed tremendous success with his original novels ‘The Curious incident of the Dog in the Night-Time’ and ‘A Spot of Bother.’ They caught the imagination and became book club favourites. He has now turned his hand to writing plays, and seems set to enjoy equal praise for this craft.

‘Polar Bears’ will run from 1st April to 22nd May 2010 at the Donmar Warehouse theatre in London. It will be directed by Jamie Lloyd and designed by Soutra Gilmour. Theatre tickets for the show are already on sale.

The play tells the story of a man and his relationship with a woman who has a serious psychological condition which seems somehow to be connected with the cycles of the moon. It will star Richard Coyle and Jodhi May.

One of Coyle’s first high profile roles was as the hapless Jeff in the BBC’s comedy series ‘Coupling.’ He then went on to play the lead in ‘Strange’. His film roles include ‘A Good Year’, ‘The Libertine’ and ‘Happy Now.’ Previous theatre credits include ‘The York Realist’ at the Royal Court and a double bill of Harold Pinter plays – ‘The Lover’ and ‘The Collection’ in the West End.

Jodhi May’s television credits include ‘Emma’ and ‘The Street’. Previous theatre includes ‘Blackbird’ in the West End.
