Wit

Wit is a brutally human, beautifully layered play that is as intellectually challenging as it is emotionally riveting.

Vivian Bearing, Ph.D., a renowned professor of English who has spent years studying and teaching the brilliant Metaphysical sonnets of John Donne, has been diagnosed with terminal ovarian cancer. Her approach to the study of Donne is aggressively probing and intensely rational. But during the course of her illness, and as a patient in an experimental chemotherapy program at a major teaching hospital, Vivian comes to reassess her life and her work with a profundity and humour that are transformative both for her and the audience.

Proceeds from the Sunday performance will be presented to the Canadian Cancer Society.
