Overview

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 that reveals not just the tenacity of these worthy opponents, but also deeper truths that each would rather remain hidden.

Reviews

""A deeply satisfying and vastly entertaining story of two elderly women through together by a comic cosmic force."" - Deadline ""No shortage of funny lines and inspired moments of physical comedy."" - The Hollywood Reporter ""The author of comedy-dramas that toy with sitcom expectations but then veer elsewhere, [David Lindsay-Abaire] is obviously riffing, in Ripcord, on television templates like The Golden Girls. [It's a] play that flirts with surrealism... suggesting the possibility that, even in old age, people can make choices that may produce a gentler landing."" - New York Magazine
