BWW Review: Prime Productions Mounts MARJORIE PRIME at Park Square
Playwriting can be a form of thinking, and plays can be thought-experiments.

He's investigating whether advances in artificial intelligence might enable new means of care-giving for older adults losing their memories. Along the way, intriguing questions arise. Though I don't think the play works all that well despite strong work from the actors, I admire Harrison's audacious choice of subject. He's a bold artist, currently writing for Netflix's "Orange is the New Black."
