Wit
a drama by Margaret Edson
January 15-31, 2026
January 15-31, 2026
Wit is a powerful, deeply moving play that follows the final days of Dr. Vivian Bearing, a sharp-witted and brilliant professor of poetry, as she undergoes treatment for advanced ovarian cancer. As she faces the realities of illness and mortality, Vivian reflects on her life, her work, and the human connections she often kept at a distance. Blending intellect, humour, and raw emotion, Wit is a poignant exploration of what it means to truly live—and the grace that can be found in vulnerability and compassion.
Domino is hosting a charity fundraiser night during the January 21 performance of Wit.
