DEAD MAN'S CELL PHONE
Written by Sarah Ruhl
Directed by Professor Christine Cummings
In a quiet café, Jean answers a cell phone that won’t stop ringing—only to discover it belonged to a dead man named Gordon. Her decision plunges her into his bizarre world, where she encounters his grieving widow, mysterious mistress, domineering mother, and secret illegal dealings.
Quirky and darkly comedic, the story explores how technology can isolate us from real human connection—and how the living search for meaning in the digital traces the dead leave behind.
