A play by Jordan Harrison, Directed by Robert Ansbro

Marjorie Prime, a gently, uncanny play that imagines a future solution for a person in mourning. The re-creation of someone we love as an artificial intelligence. A companion who is programmed to feed the story of our life back to us. What would we remember, and what would we forget, if given the chance?
