The Year of Magical Thinking, written by Joan Didion based on her memoir, starring Vanessa Redgrave, and directed by David Hare, begins performances at Broadway's Booth Theatre (222 West 45th Street) on March 6 for a strictly limited 24-week run.  Opening Night is March 29.

"In The Year of Magical Thinking, Vanessa Redgrave relives an almost unfathomably shocking period in Joan Didion's life.  Capturing the compassion, humor, and stark 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 brilliant storyteller's gift for the absurd," according to press materials. 

Vanessa Redgrave is appearing with the permission of Actors' Equity Association.
