The Year Of Magical Thinking

Synopsis

The play

“this happened on December 30, 2003. That may seem a while ago but it won’t when it happens to you... ”

In this dramatic adaptation of her award-winning, bestselling memoir (which Michiko Kakutani in <i>The New York Times </i>called “an indelible portrait of loss and grief... a haunting portrait of a four-decade-long marriage), Joan Didion transforms the story of the sudden and unexpected loss of her husband and their only daughter into a stunning and powerful one-woman play.

The first theatrical production of <i>The Year of Magical Thinking</i> opened at the Booth Theatre on March 29, 2007, starring Vanessa Redgrave and directed by David Hare.
