Marjorie Prime

It’s the not-too-distant future in the age of artificial intelligence, and 85-year-old Marjorie has a handsome new companion programmed to help her recount the distant, fading memories of her life. What would we remember, and what would we forget, if given the choice? In this wondrous new play, a Pulitzer Prize finalist, Jordan Harrison explores what it means to be human in the digital age.

“…a thought-provoking play about memory, its corruption and our insistence that technology help us outwit death.”
– The New York Times

“All the hallmarks of the best science fiction; it’s clever in conceit, alive with humor, surprising in its turns, and terribly haunting by the time the lights go out.”
– The New Yorker

“Intriguing and endearing... [an] elegant production” – Dorothy Velasco, The Register-Guard

“Like a slice of Tennessee Williams or Tracy Letts... its emotional impact is subtle and lasting.” – Rick Levin, Eugene Weekly
