The Year of Magical Thinking: A Play by Joan Didion Based on Her Memoir

In this dramatic adaptation of her award-winning, bestselling memoir, 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.

"This happened on December 30, 2003. That may seem a while ago but it won't when it happens to you . . ."

Michiko Kakutani in The New York Times called the memoir that was the basis for the play, "an indelible portrait of loss and grief . . . a haunting portrait of a four-decade-long marriage.

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