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. Kathleen Chalfant recreates the role of Vivian Bearing Ph.D. which she played to great acclaim in both New York and Los Angeles. Leigh Silverman recreates the directing of Derek Anson Jones who died since the American premiere of this play. The play opened in New York in September 1998.| 27 Mar 00 to 13 May 00 | Vaudeville Theatre West End, Greater London Performance Details => Venue archive |
