Better than anticipated
"I, surprisingly, liked the play a lot. But I think if you did not read about the plot line it could be very confusing. I am so glad I did and was prepared, I was apprehensive once I knew the story.

About Marjorie Prime

Pulitzer Prize finalist Jordan Harrison reinvents the family drama in his richly spare, wryly funny, and powerful Marjorie Prime, directed by Tony Award® nominee Anne Kauffman. A heart-achingly beautiful rumination on aging and artificial intelligence, memory and mortality, love and legacy, Marjorie Prime examines the blurred line between a life lived and a life remembered.
