Hole in the Wall to Present Marjorie Prime

Jordan Harrison’s “Marjorie Prime” is the next play to be presented by New Britain’s Hole in the Wall Theater, beginning in August.

The Theater describes the play, saying,

It’s the age of artificial intelligence, and 85-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?

The Hole in the Wall’s production of the play is set to premiere on August 20, 2021.

“In this richly spare, wondrous new play,” the Theater says, “Jordan Harrison explores the mysteries of human identity and the limits — if any — of what technology can replace.”

Directed by George Sebastian-Coleman and produced by Luis Marerro, the play’s cast includes Barbara Gallow in the title role, Jordan Wassil as “Walter”, Teresa Langston as “Tess” and Keith E. Nelson as “Jon.”

The play is to be presented by the Theater from August 20th to September 4, 2021:
