*Synopsis*

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,
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.

A Dead Man, Gordon – 30-45 years old

The Other Woman/The Stranger – 25-40 years old (will need some kind of
accent)
