Edson’s modern one-act classic tells the story of Dr. Vivian Bearing, an English professor dying of ovarian cancer. The play, which we recommend reading with a large volume of John Donne poems close at hand, weaves the great poet’s symbolism and language in with Vivian’s pain and struggle to maintain her humanity in the hospital setting. Devastating but beautiful, this play is one to endure through the ages.
