Nicu's Spoon Theatre Ends Run of W;T, 4/25

Nicu's Spoon Theater will end its production of Margaret Edson's W;t April 25th.

Margaret Edson’s W;t is a play that asks us to question the way we live our lives, the choices we make and the relationships we form. It presents us with Vivian, a woman forced to evaluate her life as she faces her death. Having focused her whole life on the academic analysis of the poetry of John Donne, Vivian realizes that she has not achieved in her life what Donne has accomplished in his poetry; the harmonious unification of ‘wit’ (intelligence) and emotion. In the final stages of her life, Vivian begins to realize that having lived her life focused on the intellect, emotional and meaningful connections with others is what she now longs for to provide her with the comfort her ‘wit’ cannot.

Founded in early 2001, Nicu's Spoon is dedicated to producing socially reflective theatre that presents new ideas, challenges stereotypes, and touches the heart in an unexpected way. Spoon Theater is the central theater group in New York City who acts as a home for all - differing colors, abilities, ages, genders - Spoon Theater does not specialize in ‘the sight impaired' or ‘the hard of hearing' or ‘people of color' - the theater is the only company which from day one has been a home for all artists - many may now join or use Spoon as a model but they are the central home base. Spoon celebrates collaboration in developing productions that are pertinent for today's global, diverse and rapidly changing world. New York City is full of people of different ethnicities and abilities; on the move and unheard. Spoon gives voice to those who are very much a part of our world, but whose stories often go untold. Spoon Theater is committed to involving the spectrum of diverse and multi-abled voices in play selection, programs & internships, the artistic, production and volunteer staffs, and in the audience.
