Synopsis:

'This happened on December 30, 2003. That may seem a while ago but it won't when it happens to you!'

Read this award-winning bestselling memoir of the sudden and unexpected loss of Joan Didion's husband and their only daughter before seeing it transformed into a stunning and powerful one-woman play. The first stage production of 'The Year of Magical Thinking', starring Vanessa Redgrave and directed by David Hare, was a runaway hit on Broadway in 2007 and is now restaged at the National Theatre (Press Night 30 April)) touring to the Bath, Cheltenham, Salzburg and Dublin Festivals.
