BECKET ARTS CENTER AT THE DREAM AWAY LODGE

THE YEAR OF MAGICAL THINKING

By Joan Didion

A play based on her memoir

“I warned you…You don’t want to think it could happen to you. That’s why I’m here.”

—Joan Didion

Spare, exact, and quietly gripping, The Year of Magical Thinking confronts the strange logic of grief and the limits of reason when life changes in an instant.

In this intimate reading, Paula Langton takes on Joan Didion’s extraordinary meditation on love, loss, memory, marriage, and the mind’s refusal to accept what it cannot change.
