THE YEAR OF MAGICAL THINKING by Joan Didion was performed by Robyn Nevin and directed by Cate Blanchett for the Sydney Theatre Company. This is a wonderful piece of writing and Robyn Nevin was wonderfully vulnerable in this one person piece. I saw this early in the run (twice) and felt that I had never seen Ms Nevin so delicate and fragile with her usual strengths of cool intelligence and insight. Sensitively supported by Cate Blanchett with a provocative Set Design by Alice Babidge beautifully lit by Nick Schlieper and an abrasive but mostly apt Sound Design. Stimulating.

I can only assume it's a typo (twice) as surely someone of your great theatrical experience knows her name is spelled Robyn. Otherwise I agree completely--the most extraordinary performance i have seen on any stage, anywhere in the past decade.
Thank you. I've corrected the spelling.
