“Talk about ending the Festival with a bang: the KickstArt production of Wit
will twist your gut into knots and leave you shattered- but in a peculiarly
cerebral way that strips away sentiment to lay bare pure, genuine,
unfettered humanity. Clare Mortimer's performance will leave you reeling; Wit
will leave you stunned.”
Christine Kennedy, Cue
“Even if you see no other theatrical performance this year make sure you
don't miss Wit. It is, in a word, superb. Funny, poignant and truly engages
both your heart and mind.”
Sestelle Sinkins, The Witness

“Under Steven Stead's sympathetic and impressive direction, Clare Mortimer
delivers a committed, courageous and compelling performance. This journey
shows the indignities of cancer, the pain devouring the soul, but overall,
this is a mental boost to the spirit. A rare and special work from a truly
dedicated theatrical team.”
Sally Scott, Daily News
“Wit is a play for those who crave a true experience, one which raises their
level of consciousness and moves them beyond their ordinary boundaries. It
is a transformational experience. It is for those who wish to be wooed by
thought and word and deed into the next immeasurable second of their lives.”
Gisele Turner, Tonight |
