Mayo Clinic Health System and Merely Players Community Theatre collaborate to explore empathy in medicine with Margaret Edson’s 1999 Pulitzer Prize winning play W;t.
W;t tells the moving story of a brilliant English professor, Dr. Vivian Bearing, who, through her diagnosis and treatment of advanced ovarian cancer, comes to reassess her life and her work with a depth and humor that are transformative for her, her medical team, and the audience.
Public performances of W;t are Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, July 20-22 and 27-29 at the Mankato Event Center, 12 Civic Center Plaza (http://www.mankatoeventcenter.com/). Doors open at 6 pm. Show at 7:30pm. Beverages will be available for purchase before and after the show. There will also be a post-show Talk Back with medical professionals and artistic staff immediately following each performance.
