Jeffries Cast In THE YEAR OF MAGICAL THINKING 4/17-5/24
TheaterWorks presents acclaimed actor Annalee Jefferies in the Connecticut premiere of The Year of Magical Thinking, the stage adaptation of Joan Didion's bestselling memoir of the same name. In this Broadway hit, audiences journey back over the year when Didion abruptly lost her husband, Hartford native John Gregory Dunne, and their beloved daughter Quintana Roo. Applying her fiercely logical brain to a situation that defied logic, Didion's words lead us on a quiet exploration of that "magical year" when grief came to call and hope was around the corner. The production, featuring area favorite Annalee Jefferies (Hartford Stage's A Streetcar Named Desire and 2003 Connecticut Critics Circle Award winner for The Night of the Iguana), is directed by TheaterWorks' artistic director, Steve Campo.
(The Year of Magical Thinking is the third production of TheaterWorks' 2008-2009 season, replacing Speech & Debate, which will now be presented June 12 through July 26, 2009.) Photos of Annalee Jefferies and Joan Didion available upon request.
