Watch Burn Your Phone

If they are all as good as Andrew Wallace, we are in for a treat. His short play Burn Your Phone was about a telephone operator working a long shift at the Hastings Exchange. We eavesdropped on Andy’s headphones as he handled the callers, polite, frustrated, anxious and rude, who wanted everything from reductions in their bills, to sex, to meals on wheels, to an ambulance. Nothing fazed him until he began receiving increasingly horrible death threats … Beautifully performed by Alan Cumming as Andy, this was a marvelous play, superbly suited to its medium
