Dead Man’s Cell Phone

An incessantly ringing cell phone in a quiet cafe. A stranger at the next table who has had enough. And a dead man — with a lot of loose ends. So begins this wildly imaginative and off-center romantic comedy by MacArthur “Genius” Grant recipient, Pulitzer Prize finalist, and one of America’s hottest new playwrights, Sarah Ruhl, author of The Clean House and Eurydice. It is the odyssey of a woman forced to confront her own assumptions about morality, redemption and the need to connect in a technologically obsessed world.
