Tickets from £48 for MARJORIE PRIME at the Menier Chocolate Factory
See Jordan Harrison's exploration of Artificial Intelligence
By: Aliya Al-Hassan Jan. 24, 2023
In this richly spare, wondrous play, Jordan Harrison explores the mysteries of human identity and the limits - if any - of what technology can replace.
It's the age of artificial intelligence, and 85-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?
Jordan Harrison was a 2015 Pulitzer Prize finalist for Marjorie Prime. The play premièred at the Mark Taper Forum/Center Theater Group in Los Angeles in September 2014 and had its New York premiere at Playwrights Horizons.
Marjorie Prime is at the Menier Chocolate Factory from 3 March - 6 May
