Jordan Harrison

JORDAN HARRISON was a Pulitzer Prize finalist for Marjorie Prime, which had its New York premiere at Playwrights Horizons after premiering at the Mark Taper Forum. Other plays include Maple and Vine, Log Cabin, and Doris to Darlene (all at Playwrights Horizons), The Amateurs (Vineyard Theatre), The Grown-Up (Humana Festival), Amazons and their Men (Clubbed Thumb), Futura (NAATCO), Act a Lady (Humana Festival), and Finn in the Underworld (Berkeley Rep). He is the recipient of the Horton Foote Prize, the Kesselring Prize, and a Guggenheim Fellowship. TV: Three seasons as writer-producer on the Netflix series “Orange is the New Black,” as well as Netflix’s “GLOW” and AMC’s “Dispatches from Elsewhere.” A print collection of Jordan’s work, Maple and Vine & Other Plays, will be published later this year by TCG.

• “Jordan Harrison’s elegant, thoughtful and quietly unsettling drama operates by stealth, landing skillfully targeted punch after punch, right where it hurts. It keeps developing in your head long after you’ve seen it.”

  — Ben Brantley, The New York Times

• “This startling and profound new drama – a realistic work, and a brilliant one at that – is devastatingly rendered by the superior ensemble under Anne Kauffman’s beautifully balanced direction. See Marjorie Prime now.”
