Oxford defines Apocalypse as:
1 (often the Apocalypse) the complete final destruction of the world, especially as described in the biblical book of Revelation.
2 an event involving destruction or damage on an awesome or catastrophic scale: a stock market apocalypse an era of ecological apocalypse
How is the world, as you know it, going to end?

What it’s all about:
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.
“Satire is her oxygen. . . . In her new oddball comedy, Dead Man’s Cell Phone, Sarah Ruhl is forever vital in her lyrical and biting takes on how we behave.”
- The Washington Post”Ruhl’s zany probe of the razor-thin line between life and death delivers a fresh and humorous look at the times we live in.”
- Variety
- Variety
“[Ruhl] tackles big ideas with a voice that entertains”
-NPR
“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
