         The Year Of Magical Thinking opened on Broadway March 29, 2007, at the Booth Theater in New York City and stars the Tony Award Winning actress Vanessa Redgrave in what is being billed as a "One Woman Show." The production is a limited run scheduled for only twenty-four weeks and then will be replaced. The play touches on some magical moments which focus on dealing with grief and the mourning process of loss. The Year Of Magical Thinking tickets are selling out for popular nights with a very reasonable price of fifty dollars for the average seat. The Story The one woman play has been called magical and mesmerizing by many, touching on the true emotions one must come to deal with at one time or another through the journey of life. The main character, Joan Didion, is suddenly thrown into the deepest of grief when her husband suddenly dies at the dinner table from a heart attack after forty years of devoted marriage. This would seem to make the storyline difficult enough for Joan, but on top of such sudden change to her life in the wink of an eye her only daughter lays in a coma. Joan deals with her loss in the only way she learns how and describes this grieving process as "Magical Thinking." The emotional and intriguing Broadway play follows her a year after the loss of her husband and the latter death of her daughter with a true first person account of the events and emotions involved. Vanessa Redgrave is not new to theater and has won many awards in London for her work on stage and the attention from critics as well who always appreciate her theatrical work. Ms. Redgrave is no stranger to Broadway either, with such productions as The Lady from the Sea and Long Days Journey Into Night which she won a Tony Award for an amazing performance. Such an achievement is truly outstanding, but on top of such great work she also has an Oscar for her work on the silver screen in "Julia." The writing for the play is attributed to Joan Didion and deals with the autobiographical account of the events based on the loss of her husband. She has many credits to her name as well, she has written five novels and contributes to many New York magazines. Ms. Didion and her husband John Gregory Dunne have co-written popular screenplays which have turned into motion pictures starring some of Hollywood's finest including Al Pacino and Robert Redford. The Year Of Magical Thinking won her the 2005 National Book Award.
