Cell phones and ringtones play part in new musical comedy

A stand-up comedian and a student have written a musical comedy where cell phones and ringtones play a part, which premieres in Newcastle (UK) this weekend, according to ic Teeside.

"The cast of two, Ashley and Chris are trapped in a room and must play their way out.

For extra characters, the pair have to ring people up on their mobile phones or play different roles, such as the "leading lady".

"We've created a world on stage where even the contents of the bookshelves and the ringtones on mobile phones are wry references to musicals," says Ashley, who premieres the show at Newcastle Arts Centre on Saturday".
