Next up at Second Stage Theater is Jordan Harrison’s MARJORIE PRIME, which finally arrives on Broadway, directed by Tony Award Nominee and Obie Award-winner Anne Kauffman.
What would you say to someone you lost, if you could see them again? What if they’re a better listener now than when they were alive? A heart-achingly beautiful rumination on aging and artificial intelligence, memory and mortality, love and legacy, Marjorie Prime examines the blurred line between a life lived and a life remembered.
"I read it and I thought, well I absolutely have to do this play," Danny Burstein told BroadwayWorld's Richard Ridge. "It is so smart and so interesting and funny and moving that I just thought I have to do this play."
June Squibb will return to Broadway at ripe, young age of 96. "I felt for one thing, I could do it physically. I could do it! And I wouldn't be fighting that thing of 'Can I do this or not?'," she added. "And oh my God, I think Marjorie's just the best. She's so snarky and she's so herself. She's going into dementia, but she's still there all the time, I feel."
The play will also star Christopher Lowell and Two-time Tony Award-winner Cynthia Nixon. Watch in this video as they all explain what it's all about!
