Script in Hand returns with Ripcord
When perpetually cantankerous Abby is forced to accept the ever-cheerful Marilyn as her new roommate at The Bristol Place Senior Assisted Living Community, sparks begin to fly. A harmless wager for a bed by the window quickly escalates into an epic contest of wills involving Soduku, skydiving, the complications of extended family, and a hearty helping of peach cobbler. As the relationship between this incompatible pair develops, long-buried secrets come to the surface and the power of true friendship is revealed. Author David Lindsay-Abaire’s signature wit serves up yet another outrageous comedy which is as heartwarming as it is laugh-out-loud funny.
MEET THE CAST
In the great tradition of mismatched, odd couples of the theatre, Abby and Marilyn can proudly stand tall. I’m delighted to present this clever, funny and deeply satisfying play. for our Script-In-Hand audience. Whether visiting a haunted house for Halloween or braving a parachute jump from an airplane, Abby and Marilyn are sure to deliver a wickedly funny and heartfelt night of laughter for all who join us at The Playhouse."
