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 disparate 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

Babel
By Jacqueline Goldfinger
Directed by Michael J. Frohnhoefer

Dark Comedy | CP2 Mini Festival
A funny, and at times terrifying vision of a future.

Set in the near future, two couples are having trouble getting pregnant and the lengths they go to in order to have a baby raises the specter of eugenics, explores the societal value of a baby, and asks us what we are willing to risk for love.

Babel is presented through special arrangement with TRW Plays. trwplays.com
