Dead Man's Cell Phone
By Sarah Ruhl
Directed by Beth Kattelman
October 28 - November 5
Blackbox Theatre
An incessantly ringing cell phone at the café table of a dead man leads Jean on a surreal journey where she encounters the dead man’s family and mistress and eventually even speaks with the dead man himself. Sarah Ruhl’s magical realism comedy explores the nature of memory and how technology both connects and isolates us where the mundane cell phone becomes a magical device transporting her character beyond the boundaries of the living world to the afterlife.
