Trigger warning: Brief description of a suicide.

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? 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.

CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS

MARJORIE

An 85 year-old widowed woman who has a complex relationship with her daughter. While she has signs of early/middle dementia, she maintains her strong, witty, confident, often snarky personality.

WALTER PRIME

An AI halogram of Marjorie’s deceased husband Walter in his mid-thirties whose purpose is to learn enough about Marjorie’s life so that he can provide companionship and help Marjorie with her memory as her dementia progresses.

TESS

Marjorie (and Walter)’s daughter, age 55. Tess has a complex history with Marjorie and carries memories of family pain and tragedies that Marjorie has buried. She doesn’t like the Prime concept, and struggles balancing past pain with her mother’s progressing dementia.

JON

Tess’s husband, age 55. Jon is a warm, supportive husband. He is aware of Tess’s pain and its relationship to Marjorie, but is more forgiving of Marjorie, and more receptive to the Prime concept.
