Opening Night: February 12, 2009
Closing: February 28, 2009
Theater: Cherry Lane Theatre

Watson and Bell, Miss St. (Jung’s notorious schizophrenic who thought she had a telephone inside her), and an assortment of 21st lovers on cell phones form a delicate and ferociously poetic work that asks what it means to "take the call" not knowing what or who will be on the other end.
