After staging her play The Clean House last year, the great Mad Horse Theatre Company gets its year going with another play by Sarah Ruhl (whose Broadway debut, In the Next Room, or The Vibrator Play was probably the most acclaimed new comedy of 2009). Dead Man’s Cell Phone
goes to imaginative places in examining the ramifications of our
ever-increasing accessibility. The production runs through January 31,
and tonight’s show is at 7:30 pm. Tickets are $18 in advance and $20 at
the door (with $2 off for seniors and students) at 25A Forest Ave., or
by calling 207.730.2389.
