Marjorie Prime
NOW PLAYING through March 29, 2026
by Jordan Harrison
“Jordan Harrison’s gently uncanny play imagines a future solution for a person in mourning: the recreation of someone you love as an artificial intelligence.”—Kate Wyver, The Guardian
In Marjorie Prime, playwright Jordan Harrison delves into the intricate dance between human memory and artificial intelligence. Set in the not-so-distant future, the narrative centers on 85-year-old Marjorie, whose mind is gradually succumbing to dementia. To combat her fading recollections, her family introduces her to a “Prime”—a lifelike holographic projection of her late husband, Walter, programmed to retell the stories of their shared past. As Marjorie interacts with Walter Prime, the lines between authentic memories and reconstructed narratives blur, prompting profound questions about identity, the reliability of our recollections, and the extent to which technology can replicate the essence of human connection. This thought-provoking drama challenges audiences to consider what we choose to remember, what we wish to forget, and how the digital age reshapes the very fabric of our personal histories.
Marjorie Prime has garnered critical acclaim for its insightful exploration and profound commentary on the human condition in an era where technology increasingly intertwines with our daily lives.
The cast of Marjorie Prime will hold a brief post-show talkback on the following dates: March 15th, 19th, 22nd, 26th and 29th. Patrons of those performances are welcomed to attend immediately following the show.
