About this piece

An actress' woeful monologue is interrupted by a cell phone ringing in the audience. She retaliates by destroying the phone that destroyed her art.

Summary

Clara dolefully recounts the death of her best friend, when a cell phone rings in the audience. She tries to preserve, but the ringing does not cease. When it becomes clear that the owner of the phone is not going to silence it, Clara enters the audience. She locates the purse that contains the phone, empties it onto the stage, and stomps on the phone until it will ring no more. Collecting herself, she restarts her monologue, only to once again be interrupted by a cell phone going off in the theatre.
