It’s a situation we’ve all been in: You’re at a restaurant, and the dead guy next to you is getting a phone call. You take a message. We’ve all been there. You haven’t? Weird.

If you’re in this minority, No Refund Theatre’s got you covered with its new production, “Dead Man’s Cell Phone.”

The play, written by Sarah Ruhl, is a rollercoaster. There’s action, deceit, laughter, love, and even lobster bisque. It follows Jean, portrayed by Danielle Alleva, as she explores the life of this dead guy, all thanks to his phone.

The play explores the effect of phones on our personal lives and how they simultaneously isolate and unite us — How you overhear people’s phone calls on the street, hearing them at their worst and best moments.

This production was directed by Quintin Sulkowski, who has been trying to put the show on for years.

“Even reading the very first scene, I immediately started imagining what I would do and how I would direct that on stage,” Sulkowski said.

After all his petitioning, Sulkowski finally succeeded. You can see the passion behind it in the final product, not just from Sulkowski but from everyone involved.

Like many NRT productions, it’s remarkable to see what they can do in such a small and limiting space. Actors move through the aisles in one scene, and in another, an ambulance is represented by blue and red spotlights.

“Dead Man’s Cell Phone” will be showcased from Thursday, March 6, through Saturday, March 8, in Forum 111.
