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.
Marjorie Prime is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc. concordtheatricals.com
Jordan Harrison’s elegant, thoughtful and quietly unsettling drama… keeps developing in your head, like a photographic negative, long after you have seen it ... At some point, you realize that it’s been landing skillfully targeted punch after punch, right where it hurts.The New York Times
CP2 Readers Theatre is an exciting series at County Players which offers an opportunity for actors, directors, and audience members to experience theater in a fresh way: selected plays with full dramatic readings, no costumes, no sets, no props, and the actors perform with scripts in hand. These shows are an incredible opportunity to experience great theater stripped to its essence: the playwright’s words.
