I read Sara Ruhl's play, Dead Man's Cell Phone, today. It's about a woman who picks up a dead man's cell phone and starts taking the guy's calls. It's very clever, and sometimes surreal. The heroine is pursuing connection.
I liked the title, and it's making me wonder if I should change the name of my play to Home From Mexico, or maybe Home From Mexican Jail, especially since imdb indicates the existence of a 2009 film named Ready Or Not although it's not clear to me whether that film is really coming out... or not. Probably I'm pointlessly second-guessing my title.
She picks up a dead man's phone,
and finds herself less alone.
