You're sitting alone in a café and a man's cell phone begins to ring. He doesn't answer. He appears to be asleep. But upon a closer look, he's actually dead. Do you answer the phone first or call an ambulance? If you're the protagonist in Sarah Ruhl's captivating play "Dead Man's Cell Phone," you're drawn to the phone first, thus beginning a quirky journey of discovery into a surreal realm that is darkly funny and quite unpredictable.
