Wit by Margaret Edson
A striking and sharply funny reflection on the frailty of existence and the complex relationship between knowledge and love.'Cuts deep… a coruscating metaphor for all our helpless efforts to orchestrate our lives, despite our awareness of our mortality'
* The Times *'Delightfully funny and deeply moving… its final radiant moment is breathtaking'
* Independent *'Truly wonderful – emotionally battering, yes, but very funny, never mawkish and ultimately exultant'
* Telegraph *'Edson's writing has its harrowing moments but it is never maudlin… A genuinely life-enhancing play about death
* Guardian *'Heart-battering.. as glorious and cathartic as theatre gets'
* The Stage *'An original and urgent work of art. Among the finest plays of the decade'
* Wall Street Journal *'A dazzling and humane play you will remember until your dying day'
* New York Magazine *'A brutally human and beautifully layered new play. You will feel both enlightened and, in a strange way, enormously comforted'
* New York Times *Margaret Edson lives in Atlanta, Georgia, where she is an elementary school teacher. Between earning degrees in history and literature, she worked in the cancer and AIDS unit of a research hospital. Wit, her first play, won the 1999 Pulitzer Prize for Drama.
