production, helmed by director Scott Miller and featuring some of Cleveland’s
finest actors, finds the offbeat kookiness and absurdity that is the heart of
Ruhl’s unique vision and brings it to throbbing life.”<br>

Miller tamed a beast and made it roar, with a strong and capable
ensemble. Set and properties designer Mark Jenks’s incredible design is

incessantly ringing cell phone in a quiet cafe. 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 new comedy by
MacArthur “Genius” Grant recipient and Pulitzer Prize finalist, Sarah Ruhl,
author of THE CLEAN HOUSE and EURYDICE. A work about how we memorialize
the dead—and how that remembering changes us. It 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. </span></b><o:p></o:p></p>
