Marjorie Prime
Autor Jordan Harrisonen Limba Engleză Paperback – 13 oct 2016
2015 Pulitzer Prize Finalist
It's the age of artificial intelligence, and eighty-five-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.

Recenzii
"Jordan Harrison’s tender, searching new comedy Marjorie Prime is suffused with a yearning to linger in an idealized past. With this play, Mr. Harrison adds a rich new entry to the catalog of roles for octogenarian actresses. A thought-provoking play about memory, its corruption and our insistence that technology help us outwit death."
