What's On

THE YEAR OF MAGICAL THINKING
 

For fans of great drama, THE YEAR OF MAGICAL THINKING is a must-see. The New York Times called the story ‘thrilling and engaging – universal, profound... and uplifting’.  There will be one show only on Thursday 14 July at the Zenith Theatre, Chatswood. 

 

Joan Didion’s celebrated memoir is brought to captivating life by Green Room Award-winning actor Jillian Murray in a critically-acclaimed solo performance that Melbourne’s Herald Sun described as “a superb performance – poised, vulnerable, intelligent and full of the subtlest ironies.”. 

 

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.

 

“We felt like privileged listeners, given access to an extraordinarily insightful confrontation with the way in which grief loosens our grasp on reason.” Arts Hub
