Hedda Gabler, aristocratic daughter of a general and newly-married to an academic, yearns to shed the physical and psychological controls over her life. She unflinchingly meets this challenge, entangling her husband, former schoolmate, and her old flame who is also her husband’s chief rival, in twisting plots of subterfuge and intrigue. When a powerful judge threatens to uncover her darkest secrets, Hedda boldly determines her own fate.

An incessantly ringing cell phone in a quiet café. A stranger at the next table who has had enough. And a dead man – with a lot of loose ends. So begins 'Dead Man's Cell Phone', a wildly imaginative new comedy by MacArthur Genius Grant recipient and Pulitzer Prize finalist Sarah Ruhl, author of The Clean House and Eurydice. A work about how we memorialize the dead – and how that remembering changes us – it is the odyssey of a woman forced to confront her own assumptions about morality, redemption, and the need to connect in a technologically obsessed world.

'Dead Man's Cell Phone' opens Friday, November 3 and runs through Sunday, November 19, Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30pm, Sundays at 3pm. Tickets are $18, students with a valid ID $10, group discounts are available. Please call 518-462-1297 or go to www.albanycivictheater.org to reserve your seats.

Albany Civic Theater is located at 235 Second Avenue, Albany, the entrance is around the corner on Sand Street.
