From next Wednesday, March 6, ‘Wit’ will be returning to the stage at Riverside Theatre after a smash-hit 2019 season.
Celebrating its 25th anniversary of winning the Pulitzer Prize, and a part of the HSC English curriculum, ‘Wit’ is a drama about life, death, the significance of a semicolon, and the balance between head and heart.
Directed by Helen Tonkin, ‘Wit’ tells the story of Vivian Bearing, who is 50, in the prime of her life, highly respected and at the height of a stellar academic career. However, she has just weeks to live.
As Bearing comes to terms with who she is, the audience is left to wonder – can we conquer death, or at least our fear of it, by the way we live our lives?
After critical and popular hits including ‘Freud’s Last Session’, ‘Metamorphosis’, and ‘The Screwtape Letters’, Clock and Spiel Productions have been praised for their smart and deeply touching productions, and ‘Wit’ is no exception.
This is a show not to miss. Just make sure you bring your tissues.
‘Wit’ will be on at Riverside Theatre from Wednesday, March 6 to Saturday, March 9. Tickets start from $46. For more information or to book, visit http://www.riversideparramatta.com.au.
