Synopsis:

An incessantly ringing cell phone in a quiet café. A stranger at the next table who has had enough. and a dead man—with a ringing cell phone and lot of loose ends. So begins Dead Man's Cell Phone, a wildly imaginative comedy by playwright Sarah Ruhl, recipient of a MacArthur "Genius" Grant and Pulitzer Prize finalist for her play The Clean House. The play 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. Ruhl's zany probe of the razor-thin line between life and death delivers a fresh and humorous look at the times we live in.
