BWW Reviews: The Rep's Moving Production of THE YEAR OF MAGICAL THINKING
by Chris Gibson - January 20, 2011
It's tragic enough when someone loses their spouse, but when they also lose their only child within a year and a half of that, it's simply indescribable. But that's precisely what happened to writer Joan Didion, and she chronicled the experience in her book, and in the play that followed, THE YEAR OF MAGICAL THINKING. The Repertory Theatre of St. Louis is presenting a powerful and emotion-packed presentation of this play in the intimate confines of their Studio Theatre, and while it will most certainly speak to anyone, it will resonate even deeper with those who have lost someone close to them. This one-woman show is an affecting work and Fontaine Syer delivers an exceptional performance.
