A 1999 Pulitzer-Prize winning play by Margaret Edson that was later adapted to television by Creator/MikeNichols and Creator/EmmaThompson, ''Wit'' is about Vivian Bearing, an English professor who specializes in the metaphysical poetry of John Donne, who finds out she has an aggressive case of ovarian cancer.
