Laughs in abundance are in free fall in the Huntington Theatre Company's production of Pulitzer Prize winner David Lindsay-Abaire's RIPCORD, a bejeweled vehicle for a pair of women of a certain age that is polished to a shine by the brilliant performances of Nancy E. Carroll and Annie Golden. Under the brisk, breezy direction of Jessica Stone (VANYA AND SONIA AND MASHA AND SPIKE), these two pros turn life in an assisted living facility into Abby and Marilyn's excellent adventure. As roommates who are anything but soulmates, they engage in a protracted battle of wits to win a bet for supremacy over their little corner of a shrinking world, and the only rule is to take no prisoners.
Due to popular demand, the Huntington Theatre Company has extended the run of its production of Ripcord, by David Lindsay-Abaire and directed by Jessica Stone, through July 2. The added performances are Tuesday, June 27 at 7:30pm; Wednesday, June 28 at 7:30pm; Thursday, June 29 at 7:30pm; Friday, June 30 at 8pm; Saturday, July 1 at 2pm and 8pm; and Sunday, July 2 at 2pm and 7pm.
