The Year of Magical Thinking
by Joan Didion
directed by Gabrielle Randle-Bent
April 27-June 5, 2022
In 2003, Joan Didion’s life irrevocably changed when she was stuck with a double tragedy. As she grieves, she finds herself gripped by a magical sense that the deceased could still somehow return. An adaptation of her own Pulitzer-prize nominated book, celebrated essayist Didion (Slouching Toward Bethlehem) writes a raw, stupefyingly personal account of loss. Bracingly lucid and spellbindingly poetic, The Year of Magical Thinking is an honest and unsparing depiction of mourning and a pain that must be looked at to be understood.
