About the production
In a near future of artificial intelligence, an 86-year-old woman spends her days with a holographic “Prime” of her late husband, raising questions about memory and what we choose to remember.
“Along with the formidable acting, it is the careful understatement of Senior's production that makes this show work so well...”
— Chicago Tribune, Chris Jones
“What’s remarkable about this savvy piece, acted to the hilt by those four cast members in Kimberly Senior's smartly spare production, is its insight into the vagaries of memory and the navigation of grief.”
— Time Out Chicago, Kris Vire
“Watching this masterfully acted 85-minute work unfold at Writers Theatre – where director Kimberly Senior has gathered a sterling quartet of actors who mesh like a string quartet – might hit far too close to home for those with aging parents.”
— Chicago Sun-Times, Hedy Weiss
“supplying a quietly funny, quietly terrifying dimension that comes through well in Kimberly Senior's current staging for Writers Theatre.”
— Chicago Reader
