RIPCORD
by David Lindsay-Abaire; directed by Lynn Sotos
October 1 to November 8, 2020
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 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.
David Lindsay-Abaire’s tastily sweet-and-sour RIPCORD is great fun!
