“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.”
