ABOUT THE SHOW
In David Lindsay-Abaire's "RIPCORD - 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.
