Ripcord

by David Lindsay-Abaire

directed by Mathilde Berry

Scotty: “No one’s going to have a heart attack.”
Abby: “It says on the card, 'heart-stopping horror'. Heart. Stopping.”
Marylin: “I’d like to go.”
Abby: “A wonderful idea. You should go.”

A comedy centering around misanthropic Abby and bubbly, cheerful Marylin, who are forced to share a room in a seniors’ living facility. When the two women make a bet to settle once and for all the question of who gets the bed by the window, their battle for control soon starts to spiral out of control. Which begs the question: who is going to pull the ripcord first…?
