By Sarah Ruhl
Directed by Diane Bailey

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 lot of loose ends. So begins Dead Man’s Cell Phone, a wildly imaginative comedy by MacArthur “Genius” Grant recipient and Pulitzer Prize finalist Sarah Ruhl. A work about how we memorialize the dead – and how that remembering changes us – Dead Man’s Cell Phone is the odyssey of a woman forced to confront her own assumptions about morality, redemption, and the disconnect we experience in a digital world.

“She’s going to become her own vocabulary word,” playwright and legendary writing professor Paula Vogel has said, describing former student Sarah Ruhl’s unique voice. “There’s not anyone else like her. There are no models to refer to. Ten years from now, we’ll say, ‘It’s rather Sarah Ruhl’.”
