anthropology by Lauren Gunderson

A Thrilling New Play by Lauren Gunderson

What if artificial intelligence could help you grieve… or deceive?

Merril has been spending time with her sister Angie again—but Angie is gone. Created as a digital recreation to cope with unbearable loss, virtual Angie begins to evolve in unexpected ways, suggesting that the real Angie may still be alive. As Merril follows the clues, the line between memory, programming, and truth begins to blur.

Anthropology is a riveting psychological thriller that confronts the power and peril of AI, the complexity of loss, and what it means to be human. With sharp writing and gut-punch twists, Lauren Gunderson’s latest work is as emotionally profound as it is intellectually provocative.
