In a drive for perfection, are we willing to replace ourselves? SPARC Theater's 3rd annual Science@Play Series tackles themes of AI. The first staged reading of the series will be Jordan Harrison's Marjorie Prime, where he explores the mysteries of human identity and the limits -- if any -- of what technology can replace.
Details:
It's the age of artificial intelligence, and 85-year-old Marjorie is a jumble of disparate, fading memories. 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.
"Jordan Harrison's play... has all the hallmarks of the best science fiction; it's clever in conceit, alive with humor, surprising in its turns, and terribly haunting by the time the lights go out." -- The New Yorker
