The Antiquities

“Compelling… starting with Shelley’s monster and ending with, well, the end of humanity, it could win a scary-story contest itself, as it maps one possible route, the Via Technologica, from Romantic glory to species demise… beautifully drawn, with the wit, pith and undercurrent of sadness characteristic of Harrison’s best work… hilarious and scalding.” – The New York Times

“Really engages the brain… a play that has more to say in 95 minutes than most TV shows manage in eight seasons.” – Chicago Tribune

“Imaginative… Harrison’s steady advance toward tomorrow is certainly effective at ratcheting up tension.” – Observer

“The Antiquities brings us back to the future, to a post-Marjorie Prime era – and it offers an even more chilling perspective on where technology may be taking us.” – New York Sun

“Very timely… Jordan Harrison spins an intriguingly haunting tale about the human experiment gone awry… a highly provocative and clever examination of humanity.” – Roma Torre, New York Stage Review

“Funny, pointed, haunting.” – New York Theater

“[A] remarkable, thought-provoking show… to imagine the lived experience of humanity in the space between Yes and No, between the technological achievements that have upended our lives, both for good and for ill. It’s a fascinating exercise, especially since so much of our education and media systems have indoctrinated us into the notion that all innovations are good, or at the very least benign.” – Culture Sauce

“Jordan Harrison’s exciting new play is intellectually impressive and philosophically a bit terrifying.” – Exeunt
