The new comedy by David Lindsay-Abaire receives its Arizona Premiere at Fountain Hills Theater March 18-April 3, 2022.
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.
Abby has always had a quiet room to herself at the Bristol Place Senior Living Facility in David Lindsay-Abaire's new play Ripcord. If a new roommate was assigned to the second bed, Abby - cantankerous and private - quickly got them out. That is until enthusiastic, optimistic Marilyn arrives. Abby pleads with an orderly, "If I have to have someone in here, why can't it be someone quiet? What about that woman without the voice box? She seems nice." But Abby finds that if she is going to get Marilyn out, she'll have to do it herself, and the high-stakes bet that the two women make leads quickly to an all-out war of comic proportions. Written by David Lindsay-Abaire and presented through Special Arrangement with Dramatists Play Service
