Polar Bears - Mark Haddon
KORTE INHOUD
Polar Bears is a captivating tale by awardwinning writer Mark Haddon. Balancing humour and pathos, it tells of one man's struggle to love, support and live with someone suffering from a psychological condition. With an elliptical structure and teasing timeline, the play handles the subject sensitively, with vivid, sympatheticallydrawn characters and nicelybalanced dialectics. Polar Bears is thoughtprovoking and intelligent, with echoes of Nietszcheanphilosophy, and it refuses to offer any easy answers for those embroiled in mental instability. The plot is as follows: John has never met anyone like Kay. When the moon is in the right phase, she is magnetic and amazingly alive. But when the darkness closes in, she is lost to another world, a world in which John does not belong.
