Directed by John Geoffrion (Hub’s Artistic Director) and featuring Elliot Norton Award Winner Liz Adams as Vivian Bearing, Ph.D., a professor of seventeenth-century English poetry and an expert in the fiendishly difficult poetry of John Donne.
Demanding of herself and others, she’s allowed herself little time to cultivate a life outside of her all-consuming quest for knowledge.
But when she’s diagnosed with ovarian cancer, she’s forced to confront her own mortality with a profundity and humor that transforms her, and all who witness her remarkable journey.
This forceful and funny piece examines relationships, compassion and finding the essential balance between science and art, head and heart.
With no right or wrong answers, this provocative and profoundly moving play allows each of us to consider how to live, who to live for, and what we value most when there is little time left.
Wit asks us all the question: What do you do when you learn you are about to die?
