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.

The new season at The Donmar Warehouse theatre in London has been announced, and Artistic director Michael Grandage is to direct a cast lead by award winning actor Derek Jacobi in King Lear.

Jacobi performed last year at The Donmar Warehouse and Wyndhams Theatre, playing Malvolio in Twelfth Night, for which he received Laurence Olivier award. The acclaimed actor has graced the London theatre stage for over five decades, and has previously worked with director Michael Grandage in The Tempest, Don Carlos and A Voyage Around My Father.

Besides King Lear, the Donmar Warehouse has announced Sondheim and Lapine’s Passion, The Prince of Homburg by Heinrick Von Kleist and adapted by Dennis Kelly, and The Late Middle Classes by Simon Gray. Argentinean actress Elena Rogers, previously known for her award winning role as Edith Piaf in Piaf, is set to star in Passion. The 1994 musical celebrates composer Stephen Sondheim’s 80th birthday, and will be directed Jamie Lloyd.

Earlier in the season Helen McCrory plays Celia in the comic, melancholic drama The Late Middle Classes, which follows a young boy in 1950’s England, trapped by oppressive love. Following that Ian McDiarmid and Charlie Cox star in The Prince of Homburg, a 19th Century tale of courage, honour, love and ambition, centred around a military operation.

Preceding these productions is Polar Bears, starring Celia Imrie, Skye Bennett, Jodhi May, David Leon, Richard Coyle and Alice Sykes.
