The Year of Magical Thinking

Hailed by critics as honest, exhilarating, compassionate and unexpectedly funny, Joan Didion’s The Year of Magical Thinking looks at how grief can make you crazy, and what it means to come out on the other side.

Her one-woman play, an expansion of her award-winning memoir, chronicles her process of mourning after the sudden deaths of her husband and longtime collaborator, John Gregory Dunne, and their only child. Both personal and universal, The Year of Magical Thinking brings the voice of one of America’s greatest writers to the stage.
