Marjorie Prime

Our first studio offering is a story about the age of artificial intelligence. 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? In this richly spare, wondrous new play, Jordan Harrison explores the mysteries of human identity and the limits – if any – of what technology can replace.

Marjorie Prime premiered at the Mark Taper Forum in Los Angeles in September 2014. Directed by Les Waters, the production starred Lois Smith. In 2015, the play premiered off-Broadway at Playwrights Horizons, again starring Smith, under the direction of Anne Kauffman. Marjorie Prime made its Broadway premiere at the Hayes Theatre on December 8, 2025. Produced by Second Stage Theatre and directed by Kauffman, the Broadway production featured June Squibb with Danny Burstein, Christopher Lowell and Cynthia Nixon.

This amateur production of MARJORIE PRIME is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals Ltd. on behalf of Samuel French, Inc.
