An incessantly ringing cell phone in a quiet café. A stranger at the next table who has had enough of it. And a dead man-with a lot of loose ends. So begins Dead Man’s Cell Phone. This show is about how we remember the dead – and how that memorialization changes us. It is the journey of a woman forced to confront her presumptions about morality, redemption, and isolation in a technologically obsessed society.

The play was awarded a Helen Hayes Award for Outstanding New Play. Directed by Ken Hill. Dead Man’s Cell Phone is a play by Sarah Ruhl.
