What do we choose to remember as we grow older? How do the stories we tell ourselves shape our own identity? The play 鈥淢arjorie Prime鈥� explores these questions through the story of an 85-year-old woman dealing with memory loss. Marjorie finds companionship in artificial intelligence modeled after a younger version of her deceased husband.
The 鈥減rime鈥� helps Marjorie recall experiences from their lives together. However, much of the prime鈥檚 knowledge is based on the stories that are told by the people around them. Host Frank Stasio previews the play with dramaturg Jules Odendahl-James and actors Marcia Edmundson, Derrick Ivey and Michael Brocki.in Durham until Saturday, May 13.
