Ripcord

Ross Valley Players kicks off its 92nd Season with Ripcord by Pulitzer Award winning playwright, David Lindsay-Abaire – a comic and touching clash of wills between mismatched roommates at a retirement home. Directed by Chloe Bronzan.

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.
