A sunny room on an upper floor is prime real estate in the Bristol Place Assisted Living Facility. So when resident curmudgeon 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 two women quickly escalates into a hysterically funny game of one-upmanship. This regional premiere comedy from Pulitzer Prize winner David Lindsay-Abaire (Rabbit Hole, Good People) is as heartfelt as it is hilarious.
“A show to treasure. David Lindsay-Abaire’s ripping Ripcord is a deeply satisfying and vastly entertaining story." (Deadline)
“Lindsay-Abaire’s tastily sweet-and-sour Ripcord is great fun!...Solidly crafted, the play is larded with moments of surprise, both wacky and more substantial. When the play gets serious, it’s genuinely moving. Beyond the high jinks, Ripcord offers a compelling look at the pleasure of a challenge and the challenge of finding pleasure.” (Time Out NY)
