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.
Parker Players Theater Company is at 540 W Northwest Highway Barrington, IL 60010, Barrington, IL.
