THE YEAR OF MAGICAL THINKING
by Joan Didion
based on her memoir
featuring Lucille Arrington Keller
directed by Sharon Graci
Joan Didion’s best-selling memoir recounts an almost unfathomable period in her life as she grappled with her husband’s sudden death and daughter’s illness. This stage adaptation captures the compassion, humor, and bewilderment of a fiercely intelligent woman as her world lurches suddenly from the ordinary to the unimaginable. Filled with raw candor, this “unmissable theatre” (Variety) is a love letter to a child and a tribute to an extraordinary, unconventional marriage, all told by a brilliant storyteller with a gift for the absurd.
“Insistently hypnotic.” —The New York Times
