Love in the Digital Age Vagabond Productions presents Dead Man鈥檚 Cell Phone March 22-25. Would you answer a stranger鈥檚 cell phone? Well, Jean does, and so begins Dead Man鈥檚 Cell Phone, by Sarah Ruhl. The play is a funny take on relationships in the digital age. Jean鈥檚 decision to answer the phone is complicated because its owner is dead. This simple action draws Jean into Gordon鈥檚 world, taking her places she never expected. 鈥淭he play explores a lot of timely issues, given people鈥檚 addiction to their cell phones. The play asks questions about how technology effects relationships,鈥� says director Greg Doran. Once Jean answers Gordon鈥檚 phone, she is learns about his life and his dark secret. 鈥淭he play is really funny and dark at times. It asks questions about love in the digital age, when face to face contact has been reduced, friend has become a verb, and social media has made us antisocial. If you wonder where all of the cell traffic goes, this play is for you.鈥� The play runs March 22 to March 25, 2017, in the Faculty Lounge, in the Main Building, on the 69传媒campus. The doors open at 7 for a 7:30 pm start. Admission is pay what you can. The play contains adult language, so it may not be appropriate for younger audiences.
