THE YEAR OF MAGICAL THINKING 
​The details will be different, but it will happen to you.

Described by the New York Times as ‘thrilling and engaging – universal, profound... and uplifting’ Joan Didion’s celebrated memoir is brought to life by Green Room Award-winning actor Jillian Murray in a critically-acclaimed solo performance.

This highly personal account of loss through the lens of hope unpacks a surreal and overwhelming time in Didion’s life as she faces the sudden loss of her husband John, and later her daughter Quintana. Deeply moving, sometimes funny, and ultimately joyful, this is one woman’s story of the journey to find acceptance, and the lessons learnt in letting go.
​
After critically-acclaimed sellout performances throughout Australia, this is a must-see production for fans of great drama.
