Project Shakespeare in cooperation with Conant High School Drama presents the Pulitzer Prize winning play, Wit, by Margaret Edson.

This powerful play follows Vivian Bearing, John Donne scholar and professor, in her battle with ovarian cancer. She discovers that life is “at once funny and sad, tragic and life affirming, complex and simple.” (Atlantic Review)

Subject matter may be troubling for some. Not recommended for children.

Performing Wit are Conant High School and Jaffrey Rindge Middle school students - Arianna Wentworth, Connor Ahern, Alyssia Maki, Abigail Hampson, Sam Weinmann, Helen Martynuska and Ella Weinmann. Project Shakespeare students recently returned from performing Romeo and Juliet at the Royal Shakespeare Company's outdoor theatre, The Dell, in Stratford-upon-Avon, UK.
