Joan Didion's bestseller heads to stage

NEW YORK, Dec. 6 (UPI) -- Author Joan Didion's "The Year of Magical Thinking" is being adapted for the stage, it was reported Tuesday.

Playwright David Hare will direct and Scott Rudin produce the one-person show based on Didion's book about of the death of her husband and the decline of her daughter's health, who died shortly after the book was published, the New York Times said.

Hare said he hopes to do a reading of the work next spring, followed by several workshops and a projected Broadway debut in spring 2007.

No star has yet been attached to the project, but it will not be Didion, the newspaper said.
