Kate Ramsey plays mild-mannered Jean who is calmly eating a bowl of lobster bisque in a café when she’s disturbed by an annoying cell phone at the next table. She asks the man to turn it off several times before discovering he can’t — because he’s dead. Jean starts answering the dead man’s cell phone and is plunged into a black comedy in which she meets Gordon’s larger than life circle of friends and family, including  his wife — and his girlfriend. As Jean is dragged into Gordon’s world, she makes some surprising discoveries, including some about herself. Readers will have to attend the play to see how it all turns out.
