The Year of Magical Thinking

PRODUCTION GUARANTOR

Carolyn J. Keating

The Year of Magical Thinking

By Joan Didion
based on her memoir of the same name

“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, Joan Didion transforms the story of the sudden and unexpected loss of her husband and the prolonged illness of her only daughter into a stunning and powerful one-woman play. Pamela Vogel will play Didion. Main Street Theater Founder and Executive Artistic Director will direct. 90 minutes. No intermission.

“Capturing the compassion, humor, and bewilderment of a fiercely intelligent woman whose world lurches suddenly from the ordinary to the unimaginable, The Year of Magical Thinking is a love letter to a child and a tribute to an extraordinary, unconventional marriage told with raw candor and a storyteller’s gift for the absurd.” — Playbill
