Work:: Wit (S2107933390)

Unexpected near death, Professor Vivian Bearing must urgently come to terms with life. To cope with intensive chemotherapy, Bearing will need everything she has learned as professor of John Donne's metaphysical sonnets - and more. Wit is a verbal feast: funny and frightening, cerebral and simple. Poetic, wrenching, exuberant, witty. A Pulitzer Prize winning play.
