I loved Marjorie Prime.
I went into it as a blank slate, and it’s probably best if you do the same, so this review with be brief and with as few spoilers as possible.
Marjorie Prime was written by Jordan Harrison, and is directed here in a co-production with American Stage by Stephanie Gularte.
It’s a brief, powerful play with wonderful acting and a gorgeous set.
In an attempt to avoid plot, let me pose some questions:
If you could interact with someone you lost, what age would they be?
If you could change your memories, what would you rewrite? What would you forget completely?
What if Alexa were programmed to be your grief counselor?
Do you want to see a play you’ll be thinking about for weeks?
Marjorie Prime runs through June 3rd at CapStage.
Go see it.
