Ripcord at Rosedale Community Players

For 4 years, irritable and sarcastic Abby Binder has kept a room to herself at the Bristol Place Senior Living Facility, through sheer force of her rude personality. Nursing disappointment at the direction her life has taken, she has no room for distraction. When bubbly, bright, and unbearably cheerful Marilyn Dunne is place in her room, Abby tries her usual tricks, but fails to scare her annoying new roommate away. She gets no sympathy from Scottie, the resident aide, who refuses to use any clout he may or may not have with management to remove Marilyn. Ripcord is often slapstick, always surprising comedy, an enemies-to-friends story for a pair of excellently well-rounded, mature women.
