Wit

by Margaret Edson

produced by special arrangement with DRAMATISTS PLAY SERVICE, Inc.

Margaret Edson's Pulitzer Prize-winning Wit is that rare theatrical beast that engages both heart and mind. Vivian, a professor, has ovarian cancer and must undergo a devastating experimental drug cocktail. This a play about love and knowledge, about someone who has built up a lot of skills during her life who finds herself in a new situation where those skills don't serve her very well – she's a teacher who must learn anew. For two hours she takes center stage, interrupting doctors, nurses, and students to chronicle her story. A powerful, prickly personality, she develops a new appreciation for the simple, the maudlin, the kind. An original and urgent work of art, among the finest plays of its decade, suggested for mature audiences.
