THE SHOW: A biography of the phone and a haunting meditation on the nature of the disembodied voice, TELEPHONE operates like a switchboard connecting places and people across time and space.  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
