A TOP 100 BOOK OF THE 21st CENTURY – The Guardian

Acclaimed author Joan Didion lived a charmed and affluent life, with a loving husband and a daughter who recently got married – until her husband died at the dinner table a month before their 40th anniversary, while their daughter lay in an induced coma in the hospital. Based on the autobiographical book by the same name, this play is a painfully honest and painstakingly remembered examination of Didion’s first year of grief, told with vulnerability and passion, offering a path through the unimaginable.

In this dramatic adaptation of her award-winning, bestselling memoir, which The New York Times 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 Year of Magical Thinking opened on Broadway at the Booth Theatre on March 29, 2007. Directed by David Hare, the production starred Vanessa Redgrave as Joan Didion.
