When the play “Left on Tenth” opens, a woman named Delia, played by Julianna Margulies, tells us about her major problem in life. After the sudden death of her second husband, she tried to disconnect his landline. Verizon, by mistake, also discontinued her internet service and she can’t get a real person on the phone to discuss this crisis. When someone at Verizon finally does speak to her, Delia is transferred to another department and put on hold before being disconnected.

I use Spectrum, so maybe that’s why I couldn’t sympathize.

Delia Ephron’s “Left on Tenth,” based on her 2022 memoir of the same title, opened Wednesday at the James Earl Jones Theatre.
