ABOUT DEAD MAN’S CELL PHONE:
 
An incessantly ringing cell phone in a quiet cafe. 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, the odyssey of a woman forced to confront her own assumptions about morality, redemption, and the need to connect in a technologically obsessed world.
 
From the author of The Clean House (Pulitzer Prize finalist, winner of The Susan Smith Blackburn Award), Eurydice, Orlando, Melancholy, Passion Play, Demeter in the City, Late: a cowboy song and her latest, In The Next Room (The Vibrator Play).
 
A beguling comedy....a hallucinatory poetic fantasy that blends the mundane and the metaphysical, the blunt and the obscure, the patently bizarre and the bizarrely moving. As Dead Man's Cell Phone takes surprising twists and leaps, the lament for the supposed coziness of pre-digital culture takes on layers of nuance and contradiction. -- New York Times
