RIPCORD, written by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright, screenwriter, lyricist, and librettist David Lindsay-Abaire, is a high-stakes comedy about two senior women who engage in a no-holds-barred battle for the window view in their shared assisted living apartment. The conflict begins when cheerful, new roommate Marilyn takes a fancy to "crabby" Abby's side of the shared space. The pair soon find themselves in a winner-takes-the-window wager that escalates into the danger zone but delivers a big payoff in laughs to the audience.
