Ripcord- A play by David Lindsay-Abaire

A  sunny room on an upper floor is the prime real estate in the Bristol  Place Senior Living Facility, so when the cantankerous Abby, played by  Susy Doolittle, is forced to share quarters with the new arrival  Marilyn, played by Joy McCabe, 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. "David  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(New York) Cast- Susy Doolittle, Joy McCabe, Dylan Duffy, Emily Eisman, Tim Sorrell, Scott Renderer Director- Scott Renderer THE PLAYWRIGHT David  Lindsay-Abaire is a Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright, screenwriter,  lyricist, and librettist.
