A review by catdad77a45
Marjorie Prime (TCG Edition) by Jordan Harrison

3.0

This early play is the last of Harrison's published works for me to read, and per usual, I am not always sure of what's going on at every moment, but am still impressed by his imaginative leaps of faith. This play is particularly of interest as it contains the germ of ideas that flourished more fully in both his 'breakthrough' play 'Maple & Vine' and his most recent Pulitzer finalist 'Marjorie Prime'. Still, as a director, I get annoyed when a playwright proffers impossible stage directions such as "Occasionally she cries crocodile tears, which gather on the floor in a champagne glass'.
