"...beguiling new comedy...Ms. Ruhl's work blends the mundane and the metaphysical, the blunt and the obscure, the patently bizarre and the bizarrely moving." - New York Times

In a quiet cafĂ©, a woman answers a ringing cell phone, not knowing that its owner is dead.  She soon finds herself wrapped up in his bizarre past as she plays comforter to his grieving family and keeper of his illicit affairs, both business and personal.  This comedy [by Pulitzer prize finalist and MacArthur "Genius" grant recipient Sarah Ruhl] forces us to realize that we need to rely on one another a little more and our gadgets a little less.

"[Ruhl] tackles big ideas with a voice that entertains" - NPR
