Bellevue College to perform ‘Dead Man’s Cell Phone’

The play, which analyzes how people memorialize the dead, follows the odyssey of a woman forced to confront her own assumptions about mortality, redemption and the need to connect in a technologically-obsessed world.

Bellevue College students are set to open “Dead Man’s Cell Phone,” written by Pulitzer Prize finalist Sarah Ruhl for a six night run opening Nov. 13 through 15, and Nov. 20 through 22, at the Stop Gap Studio Theatre.
