MARJORIE PRIME
By Jordan Harrison
Directed by Cynthia Topps
A science fiction thriller | CP2 Mini Festival
Clever in concept, alive with humor, and terribly haunting.
It’s the age of artificial intelligence, and 85-year-old Marjorie — a jumble of, fading memories — has a handsome new companion who’s programmed to feed the story of her life back to her. What would we remember, and what would we forget, if given the chance? In this richly spare play, Jordan Harrison explores the mysteries of human identity.
Casting:
Narrator – (male/female) no specific age
Marjorie Prime is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc. concordtheatricals.com
