Jean isn’t a nerd, and she’s no dud—she’s simply… there. Until she answers a dead man’s ringing cell phone. That single act hurls her into a whirlwind of eccentric relatives, a drunken widow, a black-market underworld, a Johannesburg airport brawl, a laundromat in the afterlife, and maybe—just maybe—into the arms of the dead man’s brother… or the dead man himself.

Sarah Ruhl’s Dead Man’s Cell Phone isn’t just a surreal comedy about life, love, and death—it’s a sharp commentary on how technology drives and distorts us. Time bends, realities blur, and we’re swept through parallel worlds, peril, and peculiar romance—all by way of one very insistent ringtone.
