JORDAN HARRISON's
MARJORIE PRIME


85-year-old Marjorie (Anne Reid) - who is rapidly losing touch with reality - has a handsome new companion who mysteriously is able to recall the story of her life for her. Who is he and where did he come from?

This Pulitzer Prize nominated play explores the mysteries of human identity and whether artificial intelligence is a possible substitute for human emotion.
