What truly matters when view end of road?

AN award-winning play that fathoms what matters at the end of life, ‘Wit’ is set debut next month starring Earlwood’s Matthew Abotomey.

Meet Vivian Bearing; she’s 50, in the prime of her life, highly respected and at the height of a stellar career.
She’s a fiercely rational academic with a passion for poetry.
And she’s found out she has just weeks to live.
Wherever we might be on our own road, Vivian asks us: “What truly matters when the end of that road comes into view?”
‘Wit’ isn’t a play about death, it’s a play about life. All of life, and everything that makes us who we are. As Vivian comes to terms with who she is; mind, body and soul, we’re left to ponder – can we conquer death, or at least our fear of it, by the way we live our lives?
By Margaret Edson and winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, ‘Wit’ is the fourth production from Clock and Spiel Productions (after critical and popular hits Freud’s Last Session, Metamorphosis, and The Screwtape Letters) and follows their vision for bringing distinctive, culturally daring and deeply human works to the stage.
Suitable for ages 12 and up; catch it at the Seymour Centre from October 17 to 26.
