By Linda, South Lyon, MI

"What extraordinary writing, what depth and expanse. It matters that the play is actually entitled W - semi-colon - T which satisfies any obsessive/compulsive English Major. Every morsel of this writing satisfies.

Our hero is Vivian Bearing, Ph.D., 50, professor of 17th century poetry at the university. She has just been diagnosed with terminal cancer.

She is an expert on the poetry of John Donne. Perhaps this book was dreadfully and engagingly impactful to me because a friend of mine was involved with a play titled "All That I Am" that examines the forgotten women behind five well-known churchmen.

One of the men was John Donne. John Donne married Anne More in 1599. Donne, then a writer of little note, ambitious and resolved to fame, rose to prominence in the Anglican Church, spending most of his 15 years of marriage away from his wife at Court, sired 12 children with Anne Donne, who died in childbirth at 33.

This was Margaret Edson's first play, and it is exceptional from any angle of light one may cast upon it."

"This brief play is the story of an English professor who is diagnosed with terminal cancer. I connected with this story because I am an English teacher, and my mother died of cancer. The text of John Donne's beautiful poem "Death, Be Not Proud" is woven throughout the play, and it is very inspiring. Because of this play, that poem became my very very favorite."

"I won't pretend I understand John Donne, whose writings are key in this play; however, I still appreciated this beautiful mixture of language and life. The story of a woman dying of ovarian cancer is the subplot to the more important storyline: finding balance and meaning in personal life. This play is at once tragic and enlightening; uncomfortable and engrossing; heartbreaking and hopeful. I watched the Emma Thompson movie version first, and I think her excellent performance enhanced my subsequent reading of the play."

"A captivating play that explores humanity. It makes the reader consider what is important in life. I'd love to see it on the stage."
