The Year of Magical Thinking opened on March 29 at Broadway's Booth Theatre. The one-woman production, written by acclaimed author Joan Didion and based on her best-selling memoir, stars Vanessa Redgrave (Oscar-winner for Julia) and will run for a limited engagement of 24 weeks. David Hare directs.
The Year of Magical Thinking follows Didion, author of Democracy and Slouching Towards Bethlehem, reflecting on the sudden death of her husband of 40 years as her only child lay in a coma. "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," state press materials.
The Booth Theatre is located in Manhattan at 222 West 45th Street. Tickets are $76.25-$96.25, and are available by calling (212) 239-6200 or by visiting www.telecharge.com. For more information visit www.MagicalThinkingonBroadway.com.
