In this episode of Half Hour, we take a deeper dive into the Broadway production of Marjorie Prime, written by Jordan Harrison and directed by Anne Kauffman at Second Stage Theater’s Hayes Theater. We break down the play’s near-future look at artificial intelligence, how we tell and revise family stories, and what the piece suggests about grief, legacy, and the afterlife.
We also discuss what’s working in this cast (June Squibb, Cynthia Nixon, Danny Burstein, and Christopher Lowell) and how the production’s style and pacing shape the audience’s experience. From structure and design to awards potential, we consider how Marjorie Prime might factor into this season’s Tony conversation, before wrapping up with our “Half-Minute,” each highlighting one specific moment that stayed with us.
