"… as intensely intimate as it is universal." New York Daily News
"Poignant, heartbreaking and wry…we can’t help but be deeply affected." Newsweek
"Remarkable. It will break your heart." The New York Times
The leading lady of the Stratford Festival and one of Canada’s most renowned actresses, Seana McKenna stars in this one-woman tour-de-force. Based on Joan Didion’s best-selling memoir, The Year Of Magical Thinking captures the compassion, humour and bewilderment of a fiercely intelligent woman whose world lurches suddenly from the ordinary to the unimaginable. This magnificently written meditation on grief – a place none of us know until we reach it – is also a celebration of family, filled with a luminous belief in the power of the human spirit to overcome heartbreak and to endure.
