Join Long Wharf Theatre for The Year of Magical Thinking by Joan Didion, directed by Jonathan Silverstein, and starring Obie and Drama Desk Award-winner Kathleen Chalfant in a moving one-woman performance.Īdapted from the best-selling memoir, The Year of Magical Thinking recounts Didion’s journey of loss, perseverance, and ultimately hope, using her signature wit to draw an intimate portrait of the resilience of the human heart. I’m so happy to be back here.” ~Kathleen Chalfant The result is an exploration of an intensely personal yet universal experience: a portrait of a marriage, and a life, in good times and bad.“ The Year of Magical Thinking is a fine and fierce guide to living with love and loss written by one of the best writers of American prose and it is a privilege to inhabit and share this world with the Long Wharf audience. This powerful book is Didion's ‘attempt to make sense of the weeks and then months that cut loose any fixed idea I ever had about death, about illness … about marriage and children and memory … about the shallowness of sanity, about life itself'. Two months after that, arriving at LA airport, she collapsed and underwent six hours of brain surgery at UCLA Medical Centre to relieve a massive hematoma. Four weeks later, their daughter pulled through. In a second, this close, symbiotic partnership of 40 years was over. Days later – the night before New Year's Eve –the Dunnes were just sitting down to dinner after visiting the hospital when John suffered a massive and fatal coronary. She was put into an induced coma and placed on life support. At first they thought it was flu, then pneumonia, then complete sceptic shock. Several days before Christmas 2003, John Gregory Dunne and Joan Didion saw their only daughter, Quintana, fall ill. From one of America's iconic writers, a portrait of a marriage and a life - in good times and bad - that will speak to anyone who has ever loved a husband or wife or child.Ī stunning book of electric honesty and passion.
