[Capdist-announce] REMINDER!! Margaret Edson's "WIT" - NEXT WEEKEND ONLY

[Theater Voices]

REMINDER!! Next Weekend Only

Theater Voices will present the first production of its 2009-2010  
season, a staged reading of WIT by Margaret Edson directed by Carol  
King.

Performances of WIT, a moving drama about a professor facing terminal  
cancer, will be given at Steamer No. 10 Theatre, 500 Western Avenue  
in Albany on Friday, October 23 at 8, Saturday October 24 at 3 and 8,  
and Sunday October 25 at 3. Admission is free.



Winner of the 1999 Pulitzer Prize, this extraordinary drama focuses  
on a renowned professor of English who faces a diagnosis of terminal  
ovarian cancer. For many years, she has devoted herself to rigid  
analytical study of the metaphysical poetry of John Donne. During her  
treatment, however, she feels compelled to reassess the quality of  
both her life and her work, and she does so with humor and compassion.



          WIT remains the only play that Edson has written, and it  
was inspired at least partly by her work in a cancer and AIDS ward.  
She is currently a kindergarten teacher in Georgia.
