ABOUT THE SHOW...
THE STORY: A sunny room on an upper floor is prime real estate in the Bristol Place Senior Living Facility.
When the cantankerous Abby is forced to share her quarters with new-arrival Marilyn, she has no choice but to get rid of the infuriatingly chipper woman by any means necessary.
A seemingly harmless bet between the old women quickly escalates into a dangerous game of one-upmanship that reveals not just the tenacity of these worthy opponents, but also deeper truths that each would rather remain hidden.
“Tastily sweet-and-sour, Ripcord is great fun!" – Time Out New York
“A deeply satisfying and vastly entertaining story of two elderly women through together by a comic cosmic force.” – Deadline
“No shortage of funny lines and inspired moments of physical comedy.” – The Hollywood Reporter
“The author of comedy-dramas that toy with sitcom expectations but then veer elsewhere, [David Lindsay-Abaire] is obviously riffing, in Ripcord, on television templates like The Golden Girls. [It’s a] play that flirts with surrealism... suggesting the possibility that, even in old age, people can make choices that may produce a gentler landing.” – New York Magazine
