The Story

Vivian Bearing, a scholar of 17th century romantic poetry, has always focused her attention on the minutiae of literature, until she is faced with the sweeping effects of a diagnosis of ovarian cancer. Choosing an aggressive caner treatment program, she confronts her disease with a mixture of power, humor, emotion, and wit. Winner of every major theatrical award, including the Pulitzer Prize.
