Marjorie Prime on Broadway Tickets
About Marjorie Prime
See this extraordinary and prescient Pulitzer Prize finalist by Jordan Harrison. An uncanny work of science fiction, Marjorie Prime plays at the Helen Hayes Theater in the 2025/26 season, marking Harrison's Broadway debut following an acclaimed and decades-long career of creating edgy and provocative works off Broadway.
Experience Marjorie Prime in New York: first a play that premiered at Playwrights Horizons in 2015 and then a starry film with Lois Smith and Jon Hamm, this thought-provoking drama follows four characters as they wrestle with grief and a solution to it, Primes. What if we never had to grieve our loved ones, and they could stay with us forever? Would that lead to happiness, or something even more sinister or curious? What scientific advances should we pursue, and which are immoral to? See Marjorie Prime on Broadway to find out.

More information about Marjorie Prime
Jordan Harrison is no stranger to writing sci-fi works: his recent play, The Antiquities, was a Drama Desk Award nominee and looked at what happens when humans become more machine-like, and what artifacts that illuminated our humanity remain as we as a species fade away. A stirring work, it echoes many of the themes in Marjorie Prime, which made its New York debut in 2015 but continues to be more and more topical as human invention blurs the line between what is real and not.
Harrison has an unflinching interest in how technology and artificial intelligence shape how we navigate the world, and Marjorie Prime is a gorgeous and breathtaking allegory exploring the costs of advanced scientific discoveries. A rumination on aging, memory, and family, Marjorie Prime asks how far we would go to preserve the ones we've lost, and whether even striving to do so is more destructive than the process of grief.
