Ripcord

by David Lindsay Abaire  | directed by Chip Egan

A sunny room on an upper floor is prime real estate in the Bristol Place Senior Living Facility, so 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. Comedic and heart-warming all at the same time, this play is a home run on aging, strange friendships, and the lifelong struggle of satisfaction versus disappointment.
