Marjorie Prime
Its the age of artificial intelligence, and 85-year-old Marjorie a jumble of disparate, fading memories has a handsome new companion whos programmed to feed the story of her life back to her and a daughter and son-in-law who are at odds as to how much this new companion should know. What would we remember, and what would we forget, if given the chance? In this richly spare, wondrous new play, Jordan Harrison explores the mysteries of human identity and the limits if any of what technology can replace.
Chicago Sun-Times, - Memory is an essential element of life crucial to thought, feeling, progress, identity. But it also comes into play with particular power and meaning after someone who has been loved dies. And it is this tension between life and death with memory functioning as connective tissue that animates Jordan Harrisons subtly shattering play.
