Marjorie Prime

By Jordan Harrison

Presented by Central Square Theatre | September 8 — October 9, 2016

In the not too distant future in the time of artificial intelligence, 85-year-old Marjorie, a woman whose memory is fading, is kept company by a handsome, younger version of her husband Walter, programmed to talk with her about her past. What would we choose to remember – or forget – about our life, if given the chance? Jordan Harrison’s Pulitzer Prize Finalist Marjorie Prime explores the mystery of human memory and the, perhaps unlimited, promises of technology.

”By the end of the Nora’s engrossing production, you’ve got plenty to ponder and a few knotty questions to untangle.” — The Boston Globe
