Wisconsin Lutheran College Theatre Department to Present WIT This Month

The Wisconsin Lutheran College Theatre Department presents WIT, written by Margaret Edson and directed by Simon Provan.

"It is not my intention to give away the plot, but I think I die at the end," states Vivian Bearing, Ph.D., near the start of this award-winning play (including the 1999 Pulitzer). Vivian, a renowned professor of English, is diagnosed with terminal ovarian cancer. She becomes a prize research subject in an experimental chemotherapy program at a major teaching hospital yet, as the playwright herself puts it, "The play is not about doctors or even about cancer. It's about kindness, but it shows arrogance. It's about compassion, but it shows insensitivity."
