Ripcord opens Mar 29 at Phoenix Theatre

Next up at Edmond’s Phoenix Theatre is Ripcord by David Lindsay-Abaire, directed by Eric Lewis. Called “tastily sweet-and-sour… great fun” by Time Out (New York), Ripcord is a side-splitting comedy that delivers a dose of emotional substance.

Set at the Bristol Place Senior Living Facility, where the cantankerous Abby is forced to share her quarters with newly-arrived Marilyn. Abby has no choice but to get rid of the infuriatingly chipper woman by any means necessary. Starting as a harmless bet between the old women the dangerous game of one-upmanship reveals not just the tenacity of these worthy opponents, but also deeper truths that each would rather remain hidden.

Directed by Eric Lewis, the ensemble includes Thomas Glass, Melanie Calderwood, James Lynch, Susan Connors, Renee Gilbert and Gregory Kleciak.
