Wit by Margaret Edson

Winner of the 1999 Pulitzer Prize for Drama! A striking and sharply funny reflection on the frailty of existence and the complex relationship between knowledge and love. A celebrated but exacting professor of metaphysical poetry, Vivian Bearing has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer. It seems her life is nearing its final chapter. As she submits herself to an experimental treatment, Vivian approaches her illness with the same uncompromising rigor she brings to bear on the sonnets of John Donne. Through it all she comes to reassess her life and her work with profundity and a moving wry humor.
