COMING to the recently refurbished Woodbin Theatre, Geelong Repertory Theatre Company’s coming comedy Ripcord asks audiences if they are taking in everything life has to offer.<\/p>\n

American playwright David Lindsay-Abaire’s play is described by director Scott Beaton as “a razor-sharp black comedy”.<\/p>\n

Set in a retirement village, Ripcord follows grumpy resident Abby (Lisa Berry) and her cheerful new roommate, Marilyn (Robyn Birrell), who strike up a bet resulting in a series of comedic consequences.<\/p>\n

If Abby makes Marylin angry, she keeps the room to herself; if Marylin scares Abby, she wins the coveted bed by the window.<\/p>\n

“They do despicable things to each other\u2026 but it’s also about love, life and regret,” Beaton said<\/p>\n

Beaton described Berry and Birrel as “extremely talented, very funny, with great comic timing”. They are also supported by an ensemble of actors tackling multiple roles throughout\u00a0the play.<\/p>\n

For Beaton, Ripcord’s duality of humour and emotional resonance struck a personal chord.<\/p>\n

“Having spent time with my elderly parents in a retirement village\u2026 the environment and the people really resonated with me,” he said.<\/p>\n

Beaton also has experience skydiving, from which Ripcord gets its name.<\/p>\n

“At one point, they end up on the plane, and one of the characters says life is similar to pulling the ripcord.”<\/p>\n

“You’re hurtling towards your death at thousand miles an hour but if you pull that thread, you can slow down, look around and take life in.”<\/p>\n

Ripcord will mark Beaton’s eighth time directing with for Geelong Repertory Theatre Company.<\/p>\n

After discovering the company in 2001, Beaton said “I thought ‘Where’s this place been all\u00a0my life?’.”<\/p>\n

25 years later, he has not looked back. “I think I’m up to about 30 shows which I’ve been involved in as either an actor, director or producer,” he said.<\/p>\n

“It is my second home.”<\/p>\n

Beaton also met his wife through the company, and their children share their parents’ combined love of theatre.<\/p>\n

“It’s a real family affair,” he said.<\/p>\n

Beaton hopes audiences leave Ripcord not only laughing, but also thinking about their own life.<\/p>\n

“I’d like people to reflect – do I want to hurtle through life, or do I pull that ripcord and take it all in?”<\/p>\n

Ripcord opens on February 6 at The Woodbin Theatre. For more information, head to geelongartscentre.org.au\/whats-on\/all-events\/ripcord<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
