Content:
'Polar Bears', first performed at the Donmar Warehouse in 2010, is a captivating play exploring non-linear structures, philosophy and love. It follows the relationship between Kay - who has bipolar disorder - her family and her philosopher husband John. Through a discontinuous series of scenes, we see the relationship between Kay and John develop and founder; she becomes lost to another world, a world in which John does not belong. Balancing humour with extraordinary pathos, this is a story of Nietzsche, Jesus, children's books about monsters, and the pain of loving someone you can never really know. Polar Bears is thought-provoking and intelligent, and refuses to offer any easy answers about those involved in mental instability.
