Margaret Edson's play "W;t" tells a compelling story of Dr. Vivian Bearing who is the main character. She is a renowned professor of seventeenth-century poetry, specializing in the "Holy Sonnets" by John Donne. Ms. Bearing is diagnosed with deadly ovarian cancer that will eventually take her life. After she is diagnosed she approaches her illness aggressively as she approaches Donne, and she must now become the student instead of the teacher.
