About
W;t goes inside the mind of Professor Vivian Bearing, a professor of metaphysical poetry specialising in the poet John Donne, while she receives experimental chemotherapy treatment for stage four metastatic ovarian cancer.
W;t is a drama about kindness, the pursuit of knowledge, and how we come to be ourselves. For a play about cancer, it is surprisingly funny. W;t won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1999.
