DIRECTOR’S NOTES
The play Marjorie Prime takes place in the future but is actually
about the past.
Jordan Harrison’s play about artificial intelligence was inspired
in part by Brian Christian’s book The Most Human Human, which
asks, “If computers are capable of imitating things that humans
can do, what are the things humans can do that A.I. has yet to
achieve?”
85-year-old Marjorie suffers from dementia and struggles to
hold onto her memories. Her daughter Tess and husband Jon
have moved her into their spare modern home and serve as
her caregivers. Tess and Jon strive to remind Marjorie of the
stories of her life she no longer can recall, often repeating the same story many times.
How do we define identity? Certainly, a part of who we are is determined by our
experiences. If so, who are we if we no longer remember those experiences? Our loved
ones remind us of stories we’ve forgotten, though they may exaggerate, distort, or
purposely leave something out, based on their own relationship with the past.
What does A.I. have yet to achieve? Although it may have a superior ability to calculate,
play chess, or imitate human conversation – there is still that intangible human factor at
which A.I. falls short and which humans hope to make better.

utes her spare time and talent to the Acappella Omaha Chorus of Sweet Adeline’s
International. Thanks to this great cast and a talented staff of this great theater for
mounting this meaningful production.
