  DEAD MAN'S CELL PHONE
Dead Man's Cell Phone

A cell phone rings incessantly in a quiet cafe. A woman at the next table has had enough. A dead man - with a lot of loose ends. Oddly drawn to the man, she feels compelled to keep his phone, and in doing so becomes entangled with the man's personal relationships and the mysteries surrounding his life.

So begins Dead Man's Cell Phone, a wildly imaginative comedy written by playwright Sarah Ruhl, recipient of a MacArthur "Genius" Grant and Pulitzer Prize finalist for her play, The Clean House. The thought-provoking play is an odyssey of a woman forced to confront her own assumptions about morality, redemption, and the need to connect in a technologically obsessed world.

Written By Sarah Ruhl
Directed & Designed by Professor Brad Ford
Contains some adult language.

Playwright Horizons, Inc., New York City, produced the New York Premiere of Dead Man's Cell Phone Off Broadway in 2008. Dead Man's Cell Phone was commissioned by Playwright Horizons with funds provided by the Harold and Mimi Steinberg Commissioning Program.
