This play explores the theme of how cell phones both connect and isolate
us, as well as the balance between going through the motions and really
living. A work about how we memorialize the dead – and how that remembering
changes us – it’s the odyssey of a woman forced to confront her own
assumptions about morality, redemption, and the need to connect in a
technologically obsessed world.

*Reviews:*

“Satire is her oxygen […] In her new oddball comedy, *Dead Man’s Cell
Phone, *Sarah Ruhl is forever vital in her lyrical and biting takes on how
we behave” ~ *The Washington Post*

“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.” ~ *Variety*

“[Ruhl] tackles big ideas with a voice that entertains.” ~ *NPR*

“The beguiling new comedy […] blends the mundane and the metaphysical, the
blunt and the obscure, the patently bizarre and the bizarrely moving […]
[Ruhl] writes surrealist fantasies that happen to be populated by
eccentrically real people, comedies in which the surface illogic of dreams
is made meaningful – made truthful – by the deeper logic of human feeling.”
~ *The New York Times*
