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 

new 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 - 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.
