Dead Man’ s Cell Phone

2011

Written by Sarah Ruhl

Directed by John Fogle

Salem Theatre Company

An unexceptional woman embarks on a loopy odyssey into the lives of others when she “inherits” the phone of a stranger she meets in a cafe. Modern technology both unites and isolates people in the digital age.

Juxtaposition of vertical and horizontal forced perspective grids and a giant venetian blind with projections provide multiple locations on a small stage.
