Rehearsals just began for the New York premiere of the Playwrights Horizons and production of Marjorie Prime, a new play byJordan Harrison, directed by Obie Award winner Anne Kauffman. A Playwrights Horizons Commission, Marjorie Prime was a 2015 Pulitzer Prize finalist and is the third production of Playwrights Horizons' 2015/2016 Season.

The cast includes: Noah Bean, two-time Obie Award winner Lisa Emery, Stephen Root and two-time Tony Award nominee Lois Smith.

It's the age of artificial intelligence, and 86-year-old Marjorie (Ms. Smith) - a jumble of disparate, fading memories - has a handsome new companion (Mr. Bean) 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.

The production will feature scenic design by Laura Jellinek, costume design by Jessica Pabst, lighting design by Tony Award nominee Ben Stanton and sound design by Daniel Kluger.

Previews begin Friday, November 20 at Playwrights Horizons' Mainstage Theater. Opening Night is set for Monday, December 14 with a limited engagement through Sunday, January 3.
