Jordan Harrison's sci-fi drama, in which androids take the place of the dead to ease our losses and store our memories, was a Pulitzer Prize finalist in 2015 and was adapted into a feature film in 2017. Its gentle meditations on humanity and history may resonate even more deeply, howeverm now that AI has come to saturate our lives. Anne Kauffman, who directed the show's premiere at Playwights Horizons, returns to helm its Broadway debut for Second Stage, joined by most of her original designers but a very promising new cast of four: Cynthia Nixon, Danny Burstein, Christopher Lowell and—astonishingly—the 95-year-old June Squibb.
