About the play
With a twist of comedy, portraying the impacts of modern-day technology, Dead Man’s Cell Phone exemplifies how a cell phone’s paradox is to build connections, yet is proposed to be the object that actually isolates us most.
In Dead Man’s Cell Phone, a cell phone rings and rings. When the man at the next table doesn’t respond, a frustrated woman sitting nearby picks up his call. A spur-of-the-moment lie leads her down a rabbit hole where suddenly she becomes involved in his surreal and dangerous world. This comedic comment on modern technology examines how the cell phone is supposed to keep us connected but may be the thing that isolates us the most.
