Story for Marjorie Prime
2015 PULITZER PRIZE FINALIST FOR DRAMA
New York Premiere
“A thought-provoking play about memory, its corruption and our insistence that technology help us outwit death." —The New York Times
Featuring
Noah Bean
Lisa Emery
Stephen Root
Lois Smith
It’s the age of artificial intelligence, and 86-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, wondrous new play, Jordan Harrison explores the mysteries of human identity and the limits — if any — of what technology can replace.
