Grandparents Who Babysit Could Be Less Likely To Develop Alzheimer’s
World Premiere “Marjorie Prime” at the Mark Taper Forum Sept.-Oct. Marjorie (Lois Smith) is a clever, wry woman who, at age 85, finds that her memory is failing. She is living out her days at an assisted living facility where she is frequently visited by her anxious, quick-witted daughter, Tess (Lisa Emery), and her kind, easygoing son-in-law, Jon (Frank Wood). With the urging of Jon and the facility and despite Tess’ misgivings, a mysterious young man, Walter, joins the group with the hope that he can help reverse Marjorie’s decline. Through an ingenious series of shifting realities, Walter’s nature is revealed, and the family’s memories gently unfold into a cathartic meditation on life and loss. http://www.centertheatregroup.org/tickets/Marjorie-Prime/
