About Dead Man's Cell Phone.
An incessantly ringing cell phone at the cafe table of a dead man leads Jean on a surreal journey where she encounters the dead mans family and mistress and eventually even speaks with the dead man himself. Sarah Ruhls magical realism comedy explores the nature of memory and how technology both connects and isolates us where the mundane cell phone becomes a magical device transporting her character beyond the boundaries of the living world to the afterlife. MacArthur Fellow Sarah Ruhl is one of the most widely produced playwrights in the United States. Previous Ohio State Theatre productions of Ruhls work include Orlando, In the Next Room (Or the Vibrator Play), and Eurydice.
