Event Info
The Year of Magical Thinking
Directed by Kate Cherry
Set & Costume Design by Christina Smith
Lighting Design by Matt Scott
Composer Iain Grandage
Associate Director Paul English
Starring Helen Morse
Musician Iain Grandage
A Perth International Arts Festival Event.
Joan Didion’s stage adaptation of her own best-selling, Pulitzer prize-nominated memoir is an exquisite chronicle of the year she spent imagining her husband’s return after she witnessed him die suddenly of a heart attack.
This magic account of a woman’s journey in which she transcends tragedy by navigating through her imagination is striking due to Didion’s ability to articulate her shock and amazement at the magnitude of her loss with clarity and wit.
Two leading lights of the Australian theatre, Helen Morse and Iain Grandage (along with his cello) will grace our stage to bring this highly moving memoir to life. Helen Morse has received national acclaim for her work, which shares Joan Didion’s searing quest for truth and Iain Grandage has been celebrated nationally and internationally for his lyrical compositions for theatre.
This one woman play, rich with pathos, exposes the beauty and terror that we all find in the transience of life, and celebrates the power of the imagination to help us survive.
