Futuristic Family Drama Raises Questions about AI
A family drama blending the dynamics of caring for an aging relative with the possibilities of artificial intelligence will take the Ten Fifteen stage this spring. Directed by Markus Brown, four actors will tell explore the realms of how technology defines what is true. Would you want your memories to live forever?
About the Show:
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? 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.
This production includes themes of suicide and may not be appropriate for all audiences.
